SMEs, A New Force Driving Positive Impact

A recent study by Sage shows SMEs around the world are united by a desire to create impact. They want to contribute positively to their community, environment, and to promote diversity. We discuss the challenges SMEs face in trying to create more positive impact, how to balance their varied priorities and business motivations – as well as how doing the right thing for their businesses, customers, and community can all go hand in hand.
