"Carbon Benchmarking and SME Enablement" refers to the process of measuring and comparing the carbon emissions of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) against industry standards or peers, to identify improvement opportunities and drive sustainability. Carbon benchmarking involves quantifying greenhouse gas emissions from business operations, providing SMEs with insights into their carbon footprint relative to others. This enables targeted strategies to reduce emissions, improve energy efficiency, and comply with evolving environmental regulations. SME enablement focuses on supporting smaller businesses to adopt carbon management practices despite limited resources or expertise. This includes providing accessible tools, guidance, training, and incentives to facilitate carbon measurement, reporting, and reduction initiatives. By empowering SMEs, carbon benchmarking helps integrate them into broader climate action frameworks, promotes transparency, and encourages sustainable business models. Together, carbon benchmarking and SME enablement contribute to achieving national and global climate targets by expanding the reach of carbon management beyond large corporations, fostering a low-carbon economy, and enhancing competitiveness and resilience of SMEs in a transitioning market.
