Abstract: The negative effects of the global crisis can be seen on SME’s because of their size and their difficulty to access finance. SME’s need to be aware of the impact that their activities have on the environment which will turn into a great opportunity to explore the economic advantages that emerges from implementing an environmental management system. If an SME has already implemented an ISO 14001 environmental management system, the next natural step would be to turn its attention towards this new and long awaited ISO standard which is ISO 26000.
