However, in societal discussions regarding sustainability, small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are often overlooked despite their collective, significant environmental impact. Even sustainability initiatives, e.g., Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), often target larger companies \u2013 with only an indirect influence on SMEs, which is not necessarily enough to engage SMEs in sustainability actions.\n\nThe aim of this thesis was to get a comprehensive view of the environmental sustainability work of SMEs and identify what kind of support they need. The study was conducted through a quantitative questionnaire that included questions about the current environmental work of SMEs, identified challenges and opportunities, and short-term plans regarding it. \n\nIt was found that SMEs engage in environmental sustainability work for financial benefits, improved stakeholder relationships, and having a societal impact. The extent of sustainability work is affected by company size and industry. The overall level of sustainability among stakeholders was identified both as a challenge and an opportunity. The study provides practical implications for SMEs, support organizations, and policy makers. The most relevant implications are sufficient communication of SME sustainability to stakeholders, pushing for overall sustainability and providing affordable support on a regional level, and increasing environmental regulation on a societal level.", "language": "en", "element": "description", "qualifier": "abstract", "schema": "dc"}, {"key": "dc.description.abstract", "value": "Kehitt\u00e4\u00e4kseen tehokkaita toimintaohjeita ja tukimenetelmi\u00e4 edist\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n vihre\u00e4\u00e4 siirtym\u00e4\u00e4 eri toimialoilla, on ymm\u00e4rrett\u00e4v\u00e4 erikokoisten yritysten ymp\u00e4rist\u00f6vaikutukset.
