Hosted by Nordic Innovation
What is happening for small and medium sized businesses in the Nordics from the perspective of sustainability reporting and sustainable financing?

What are the developments for financing SMEs with regard to the EU Taxonomy and other sustainability perspectives? How are boards of those companies prepared for this new reality?
