At COP29, our Co-Founder, Impact & Policy Officer, Andrei Geica, emphasized the crucial role of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in driving the circular economy forward. With SMEs making up 99.8% of businesses in Europe, they are at the forefront of sustainable transformation, and at SPOROS Platform, we are dedicated to partnering with them to make a tangible impact. 🔹Circular Economy in Action: Through our partnerships, we help SMEs reduce waste, transform by-products into revenue streams, cut operational costs, and strengthen community bonds—creating resilient, competitive, and profitable businesses. 🔹 Data-Driven Transformation: We believe that measurement is key to impactful change. By establishing clear KPIs and performing regular SDG mapping, we ensure alignment with sustainability goals and demonstrate that sustainable practices are not only responsible but also a powerful driver of business growth and competitiveness. Our approach empowers SMEs to see sustainability as an asset, helping them grow while contributing to the 1.5°C climate target. Together, we’re building a more resilient, circular economy—one SME at a time. 🌍 #COP29 #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #SPOROSPlatform #SPOROS #ImpactInvestment #SDGs #SMEs #ClimateAction #SustainableGrowth #DataDriven
