Abstract: At a preliminary stage, this study aims to examine how the firmographics of SMEs affect the chances of considering ESG factors when deciding to invest. In this respect, we attempt to analyse the potential of the ESG section in the British Business Bank (BBB) survey launched in 2021: We want to evaluate the relation between the adoption of innovations and the ‘popularity’ of ESG investing among SMEs. We also would like also to assess how government policies affect the SMEs’ attitude towards ESG investing.
