This indicator refers to the total number of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) that are applying Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) practices with EU support.
SCP practices aim to do “more and better with less,” by reducing resource use, degradation and pollution along the life cycle of goods and services, while increasing the quality of life for all.
Working definition of SCP is: "the production and use of services and related products, which respond to basic needs and bring a better quality of life while minimising the use of natural resources and toxic materials as well as the emissions of waste and pollutants over the life cycle of the service or product so as not to jeopardise the needs of future generations” (Oslo Symposium, 1994). This includes, for example, the production of clean energy, the manufacturing of recycled goods, products that are certified in accordance with sustainability standards (such as eco-labelling of food products), obtaining carbon footprint license (CFP), etc.
To clarify some important related SCP concepts, please refer to the publication: http://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/content/documents/945ABC_ENGLISH.p…
The definition of the MSMEs can be based on the local definition. Where the local definition is not available, definitions from the EU, the World Bank Group or another international organisation can be used. Smallholder farmers (that are typically self-employed and without employees) are not included as microenterprises.
