Guide for PYMES (small and medium business) for the objectives of sustainable development launched in 2019. The main guideline of this document is the conception that more must be done with less. This strategy is perfectly framed by companies because they are used to operating with minimal resources. To achieve the SDGs we must increase the production of food, energy, infrastructure, among others, but without increasing the impact that all these activities generate or increasing the consumption of resources. PYMES in Spain represent more than 95% of the business fabric and generate more than 70% of jobs, so they are essential to achieve the objectives of the SDGs.
