SME Survey in Mongolia - First Results Environment and Energy Efficiency

Mongolia SME Observatory Results The following slides summarize the responses of 1511 SME interviews conducted by staff of the SME Department of the Ministry of Labour of Mongolia in September A large number of cross tabulations is possible, but for this presentation, we have chosen in most cases to provide two slides for each question asked: One which shows the variations for three “super regions” representing groups of regions (aimags) and districts of the capital city Ulaanbaatar; One which show cross-tabulation based on education of the proprietor, number of people employed/engaged in the SME, sector etc.

Mongolia SME Observatory Results How environmentally aware and active are SMEs? We looked at the level of knowledge of environmental issues, whether Green Business is a familiar concept, whether the environment is a market or a cause for concern. We also wanted to know what (if any) measures are being taken by businesses in relation to energy efficiency. For both areas, the picture is very mixed: a claimed high level of awareness does not always translate into specific activities.
