SMEs Out To Protect Environment

If you think that businesses do not care if the environment’s state worsens or not, then you should start changing that thought. You see, small and medium sized businesses are now working so as to protect the environment. And their role is quite important.

Mark Ballard of Green MSP expresses, “Small businesses are a vital sector because they have a rooting in their community and surroundings that huge multi-nationals cannot hope to have.” And so he calls on the help of SMEs to further keep the environment intact and green. And he also addresses SME groups like Thrive For Business on this matter.

Amanda Kremer is the managing director for Thrive and she says, “Thrive represents more than 300 small to medium sized companies in central Scotland. We think it is very important to provide a forum for our members to engage with politicians on business issues. Interaction between the business community and the political world is weak and sporadic, especially with SME’s. So far only Mark Ballard of the Greens has been willing to present their case although Jim Mather of the SNP is due to address members on Tuesday 20 March. A lot of businesses want to know what the parties have in mind for the economy and related issues such as transport and the environment which could have a serious effect on jobs.”
