White Paper on Project Savannah: Common ESG Metrics for Generating Digital Sustainability Credentials for MSMEs was launched in March 2024. Micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) play an important role in economic and social development by fostering value-adding activities, taking part in global supply chains, driving innovation, and promoting inclusive growth through the creation of job opportunities. In Vietnam, MSMEs account for over 95% of businesses and are vital to inclusive economic growth. However, many still lack awareness, tools, or guidance to begin their sustainability reporting journey.
ESG concepts and sustainability reporting frameworks are often complex and framed in technical English. Project Savannah aims to empower MSMEs in their sustainability (reporting) journey through three key pillars: Metrics, Technology, and Opportunities. This report proposes a baseline set of metrics for common adoption by MSMEs globally, discusses the technology that can be harnessed to power MSME reporting, and the opportunities available. Translating the White Paper allows MSME owners, local stakeholders, and ecosystem enablers to access the content in a language they are most comfortable with — enabling broader understanding, deeper engagement, and more inclusive policy uptake.
