Barriers related to SMEs and other Sample Clauses

Barriers related to SMEs and other private organisations The present section focuses on barriers identified for private organisations and which are not inherent to methodologies or to ICT products. The findings are applicable to all private organisations, unless specified otherwise. A first survey was conducted in 2016 on the challenges that organisations face to conduct an environmental assessment. Results were confirmed during the phone interviews carried out for the present deliverable: the lack of resources, the lack of incentive and the lack of tangible benefits as the main barriers identified by private organisations, SMEs in particular. The lack of clearly identified benefits for the companies is common to all private organisations, and the implementation of environmental methodologies is perceived as an economic burden rather than a source of opportunity and innovation. Many stakeholders providing or using ICT products express fear that sustainable IT practices will affect the economic performance of existing products and operations; the reaction is similar towards performance tracking software (which need to follow existing operations to identify environmental hotspots). On the other hand, economic savings are the main reason for SMEs to take actions e.g. to increase energy efficiency or better manage IT equipment (procurement, end of life) [17]. Similarly, profit margin from eco-designed products is usually 12% higher than for conventional products, in addition to extra-financial benefits [18]. It should also be stressed that economic savings are usually expected in the mid-term (not before 9 months to 2 years according to one stakeholder), thus making it more difficult to showcase. The other tangible barrier relates to marketing: data on environmental performance of ICT products is showcased on few websites, since the display is not mandatory. Therefore, customers are not encouraged to select this information when buying a product. The potential lack of user-friendliness of EU Energy Star or EPEAT websites could also restrict the use of relevant databases. On the overall, a key aspect when discussing information displayed to the consumer is the level of complexity (e.g. with results on numerous impact categories) vs. transparency (e.g. with a unique and easy-to-understand score) of the data. Finally, the perception of environmental impacts by the consumer may differ from proven impacts. Examples of potential levers: Tangible benefits are clearly identified from implementing envir...
