At e-hoch-3 | eco impact experts, we were assigned by Hessen Trade & Invest GmbH
to develop a practical guide for SMEs to support companies in tackling climate protection in a structured and feasible way.
➡️ Why climate action matters for SMEs now
-Climate change already impacts markets, supply chains and regulation
-Physical risks: extreme weather, resource availability, supply disruptions
-Early action strengthens resilience, competitiveness and long-term stability
➡️ Climate protection as a shared opportunity
-Efficiency gains and cost reductions
-Improved market positioning and customer trust
-Talent attraction and retention
-Reduced capital and transition risks
➡️ Getting started
-First step: annual, systematic GHG accounting
-Corporate Carbon Footprint creates transparency on emission drivers
-Basis for targeted reduction measures and realistic decarbonization pathways
➡️ Reporting made simple
-EU VSME standard enables voluntary, low-effort reporting for SMEs
-Practical entry point: Module B3 – Energy & GHG emissions (Scope 1 & 2)
💡 Structured climate action creates clarity and momentum.
