Gábor HARANGOZÓ HCPC 3 SMEs and the environment - questionmarks No exact data on the environmental performance of SMEs, but Scarcity of resources for environmental protection and technology innovation at the SME sector Environmental law is strict but not enough resources for controlling SMEs Weaker eco-efficiency (higher environmental load per turnover or added value)

Gábor HARANGOZÓ HCPC 4 SMEs and the environment – some empirical data Based on a survey monitoring the EM in the manufacturing sector Corvinus University of Budapest, Dept. for Environmental Economics 1530 companies asked, 466 responses

Gábor HARANGOZÓ HCPC 5 The use of different EM practices Written env. policy Public env. report Env. performance indicators/goals Internal env. audits External env. audits Env. training for employees Benchmark env. performance Env. criteria for evaluating/compensating employees Env. accounting

Gábor HARANGOZÓ HCPC 6 78% had as great benefits as they expected (independent from the size of the company!!!) Absolute numbers: 1140 ISO and 8 EMAS sites Use of EMSs

Gábor HARANGOZÓ HCPC 7 Potential negative environmental effects (aggregated)

Gábor HARANGOZÓ HCPC 8 Opportunities in EP for SMEs 31%: differentiation of products 28%: cost savings on input side 39%: cost savings in waste management

Gábor HARANGOZÓ HCPC 9 Catalysts for SMEs Governmental/EU support: development funds, national projects Regional chambers : organizing education for SMEs (possibilities for eco- efficiency, how to apply for funding etc.) Civil sector, NGOs: projects for SMEs (for example EMAS/ISO14001 easily for SMEs etc.)
