Sault Ste. Marie – The Sault Ste. Marie Chamber of Commerce (SSMCOC) and Goodman Sustainability Group Inc. are pleased to host the Canada North SME Event Series - demystifying sustainability for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) as they each race for competitiveness in a rapidly changing business area.

SMEs play a vital role in Canada’s success – they represent about 98% of firms, 50% of GDP with most having less than 100 employees. Canada is also a large exporter and 98% of those who export are SMEs. The Canada North SME Event format will provide a forum that simplifies & clarifies Sector specific sustainability requirements - spotlighting leading experts on ESG, Reconciliation, Supply Chain-Sector emerging themes and export market sustainability matters… and more.

Society, governments, & Supply Chains increasingly nudging SMEs to take action on Sustainability (Net Zero, ESG & Purpose). SME access to Sustainable Financing options will increasingly unlock ‘action’ & value creation (meeting requirements for Banks, Insurance & stakeholders).

Come and hear from esteemed business, government, & Indigenous leaders as we unveil our SME “Ecosystem approach” – unburdening the sustainability journey for SMEs. Our ‘one-of-a-kind’ events will spotlight the imperative for SME integration of Indigenous strategic collaboration, Trade & Competitiveness.
 

SME competitiveness & survivability will come to those who increasingly embed ‘sustainability’ into their business models.
