Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to facilitate small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to adopt environmental management (EM) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices. The study reveals SMEs’ motivation, pressure, targets and methods for EM and CSR practices. Additionally, the paper investigates how these variables relate to employee number, turnover and geographical locations. The outcomes of the research will add value to SMEs decision-making processes in both strategic and policy levels (e.g. supplier selection) and policymakers’ initiatives to make SMEs environment and socially friendly. Although there are studies on EM and CSR practices of SMEs, they mainly focus on impact of EM and CSR practices on business performance, and SMEs’ motivation for adopting EM and CSR practices in specific country. Studies that reveal SMEs’ motivation, pressure, targets and methods for EM and CSR practices and their relationship with their characteristics (e.g. size, turn over, and geographical location) are scant. This research bridges this gap. Our data originates from 223 carefully selected representative SMEs in the West Midlands, UK (105) and Kolkata, India (118) covering manufacturing and process industries. The relevant data was collected using questionnaires and analysed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) methods. The results reveal that perceptions of SMEs’ motivation, pressure, targets and methods of EM and CSR practices vary considerably with respect to size, turn over and geographical location. The findings are significant to policymakers, client organizations and individual SME for improving EM and CSR practices.

Introduction

Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) make up around 90% of the world’s businesses and they employ 50–۶۰% of the world’s population (Raynard and Forstater, 2002). Varying by country, SME definition is dependent of the size of the enterprise (e.g. the number of employees, annual sales, assets, or any combination of these). In the EU, a business with a headcount of fewer than 250 is classified as an SME. The European system also takes into account a business’ turnover rate and its balance sheet (Commission Recommendation, 2003). SMEs in India are called micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) with not more than 250 employees. Sustainability is the major challenge of today’s SMEs (Longoni and Cagliano, 2015). Although there are studies on larger organisations, sustainability studies of SMEs are comparatively less (we refer the interested readers to Johnson and Schaltegger, 2016 for a critical review on the subject). Environmental management (EM) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) are typically thought of as the commitment by businesses to act ethically, contribute to economic growth and improve the quality of life for employees and their families as well as the local community and wider society (WBCSD, 1999). The barriers for SMEs is that EM and CSR practices overall are typically thought of as expensive, even when cost reduction benefits are highlighted to them. Therefore, environmental performance of SMEs is an area of concern (Lee and Klassen, 2008). Furthermore, a large proportion of SMEs are unaware that good sustainability (right combination of economic, environmental and social aspects) can improve operational efficiencies substantially (Pil and Rothenberg, 2003). SMEs often lack resources, finances, time and knowledge to implement environmental and social improvement measures.
