Sebrae

Small businesses are essential actors in the fight against global warming. Representing more than 95% of businesses in Brazil and 30% of the country's GDP, micro and small businesses are uniquely positioned to make a significant impact on climate change. Sebrae works to transform them into protagonists of sustainable development. Although the roles of governments and large corporations are prominent in facing this issue, without this segment, which generates employment and income, it will not be possible to achieve a just transition.

Even though they are not responsible for the majority of emissions, small businesses can make significant contributions to achieving the zero carbon goal through innovations and services for the green transition. In addition, the impact on global supply chains means that no global climate target can be met without mobilizing them. Thus, Sebrae understands that micro and small companies are central actors in climate and environmental policies.
