5. Develop targets

Examples of SME actions

Build your company’s capacity by having staff take SME-specific climate action courses and reading SME-specific guidance.
Use a carbon calculator to quantify your emissions and identify ​the activities that are the biggest emitters.   ​ 
When developing a short-term action plan include actions such as setting minimum internal standards for new equipment purchases relative to efficiency or creating goals for waste reduction. 
Set emissions reduction targets by making a public commitment and publicly reporting on your progress.
