The Challenge

• Small Businesses face significant hurdles in managing their energy consumption, accurately calculating product costs, and assessing their environmental impact.  

• Existing tools are often expensive, complex, and inflexible, leaving many SMEs struggling to implement effective solutions

• Despite efforts, only a small fraction of SMEs have been able to reduce energy waste substantially.

• Supporting Data:

  • “35% of European SMEs report that the existing tools are expensive, complex, and rigid.”
  • “Only 4% of European SMEs could significantly reduce energetic waste, even by applying measures.”
