This program supports small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Colombia and suppliers of large companies to build their capacity for sustainability reporting.
The program also works with policy actors to create a conducive environment for sustainability reporting and transparency. Also, we work with investors, capital markets and the financial sector to promote the demand for ESG data
