About the Project
The ESGROWTH project
Integration of ESG Strategies for Business Competitiveness and Sustainability in the Cross-Border Area of Castilla y León (Spain) and Northern Portugal – aims to support SMEs in adopting Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria.
SMEs represent 99% of the business fabric and 64% of employment in the region. However, they face key barriers such as limited resources, lack of training and restricted access to financing, which hinder ESG adoption.
