Demystifying Sustainability Reporting for SMEs and Trainers

The ESG-REG project, co-funded by the European Commission, helps SMEs and their trainers navigate sustainability reporting. By providing clear guidance, it highlights reporting as an opportunity for growth and resilience, aligning businesses with sustainability goals and evolving expectations.

About

Empower SMEs for a Sustainable Future

Sustainability reporting doesn’t have to be a burden - it’s an opportunity. This initiative supports SMEs and their trainers in navigating the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and other regulations, turning compliance into a pathway for growth, resilience, and innovation. Together, we aim to align businesses with a forward-thinking, sustainable European growth model.

Enhancing Collaboration for Impact and Growth

We aim to connect SMEs, trainers, and consultants, fostering collaboration to tackle challenges, share solutions, and create stronger sustainability practices that benefit everyone.

Training Sessions and Materials

Through knowledge exchange and training sessions, and clear, accessible materials, we aim to simplify complex sustainability frameworks, empowering businesses and trainers to take confident steps toward compliance and sustainable growth.

Cross-Border Partnership

The ESG-REG project connects SMEs, trainers, and consultants from Germany and Croatia, fostering idea exchange, co-creation of strategies, and partnership building.
Our goal is to use this initiative as a foundation to expand our transnational partnership within and beyond Europe through future initiatives.
