2. INSIGHT
Czech SMEs feel overwhelmed by the amount and broadness of information concerning sustainability.
This discourages them and prevents them from implementing sustainable transformation.
SMEs have heard all there is to hear about what sustainability is but they still struggle to
implement it into their business.
To help them better orientate themselves and solve this, we will explain to them
what sustainability is not.
IDEA

3. Sustainability is not using vague phrases
saying stuff just
to say something
over explaining yourself
ignoring the bigger
picture
claiming values you do
not really stand behind
