How can SMEs effectively communicate their sustainability efforts to consumers and
differentiate themselves in the market?

Thank you for the insightful presentation. I'm particularly interested in how SMEs can effectively
communicate their sustainability efforts to consumers and stand out in the market. Sustainability
is becoming increasingly important to consumers, but it can sometimes be challenging for
smaller businesses to effectively convey their initiatives. Could you provide some guidance on
how SMEs can tackle this challenge and ensure that their sustainability efforts are effectively
communicated to consumers? Additionally, what strategies can SMEs employ to differentiate
themselves in the market based on their sustainability initiatives?
