Jornadas sobre sostenibilidad para pymes: Practical Workshops for SME Sustainability and Competitiveness

This series of workshops, 'Jornadas sobre sostenibilidad para pymes', organized by Fundación ICO and Cámara de Comercio de España, aims to enhance the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by strengthening their knowledge in sustainability and non-financial information. The program focuses on practical application, success cases, and available tools, with sessions taking place throughout 2024 and 2025 across various Spanish cities.

The 'Jornadas sobre sostenibilidad para pymes' initiative, a collaboration between Fundación ICO and the Cámara de Comercio de España, is a practical information and awareness program designed to bolster the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). These jornadas focus on sustainability and non-financial reporting, offering participants insights into success stories, best practices, and practical tools and instruments available for SMEs in the realm of sustainability. The program also emphasizes the regulatory framework that impacts SMEs, either directly or through the ripple effects of regulations applied to larger corporations within their value chains. Each session typically lasts around 1 hour and 30 minutes and is held in person, with an average attendance of 30 SMEs. In conjunction with these jornadas, Fundación ICO and Cámara de Comercio de España launched the guide 'La Sostenibilidad, ¿qué es y cómo afecta a mi empresa?' (Sustainability, what is it and how does it affect my business?), specifically tailored for SMEs. This guide, updated as of April 2025, provides a clear and visually appealing overview of relevant national and supranational regulations across the three ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) areas, alongside resources for financing and training. The initiative is ongoing, with numerous sessions scheduled throughout 2024 and 2025 in various locations across Spain, with details and registration managed by the respective local chambers of commerce.

Information regarding agendas and registration for each specific session is available through the respective Chambers of Commerce. Each session is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes long and is typically attended by around 30 SMEs. Specific ticketing or admission fees are not mentioned, but registration links are provided for each event.
