Small in size, big in impact: Can NFI work for SMEs?

How can non-financial information (NFI) reporting work for SMEs?

SMEs are increasingly required to provide NFI reports, which is a heavy administrative burden, even though these are not (yet) demanded by legislation. These NFI requests come from their supply chains, banks or as part of public procurement. The webinar will discuss the challenges and opportunities for SMEs and present solutions to help SMEs cope.
