Sustainability and the small firm

A European conference entitled 'Sustainability and the small firm' will take place in Erfurt, Germany, from 25 to 27 November 1999. Organised by the ECO 2000+ project, funded under the EU's Adapt Community Initiative, part of the European Social Fund, the event will look at the environmental challenge for SMEs.

Bring together SMEs, their representative bodies and sustainability experts, the conference will address questions such as:

- How is sustainability marketed to SMEs?
- What does sustainability mean for SMEs?
- How do SMEs take on board the principles and delivery of sustainability?

The conference will be of interest to all those who see the challenge of sustainability issues, and is expected to attract researchers, providers, intermediary organisations and representatives of government agencies. The partners in ECO 2000+, who are working on developing a distance learning package on the environment for SMEs, will present their work.
