GRI scales up sustainability know-how for Argentinian SMEs
Published date: 21 April 2026
New GRI-SECO regional program to equip companies with tools and expertise in decision-useful sustainability reporting
“Argentina has enormous potential to lead in regional sustainability. My goal is for SMEs to see sustainability reporting not as an administrative burden but as a strategic management tool that opens doors to financing and international markets.”
Lara Lovero, GRI LatAm Senior Programs Coordinator“Argentina’s SMEs have a critical role in advancing sustainable development in the country, as well as wider relevance in value chains throughout Latin America and beyond. This expanded new program is about empowering organizations to harness sustainability reporting to build trust and credibility, with practical insights that shape both sustainable outcomes and business success. We are grateful to SECO for their continued collaboration in the region.”
Andrea Pradilla, Director of GRI Latin America“The collaboration’s expansion comes at exactly the right time for Argentina. As we move through the ratification process of the Free Trade Agreement between EFTA and Mercosur, a shared understanding of sustainability reporting between Swiss and Argentine companies will help make business transactions even more seamless. This alignment will enable both sides to fully benefit from the agreement while responding to the growing expectations of investors, customers and the public for transparency across value chains and borders.”
