Democratizing ESG: Free Reporting Tools for SMEs in Developing Countries
Ask a small manufacturer why they don’t publish an ESG report and you’ll hear a familiar refrain: “We can’t afford the consultants.” APF’s answer is to make the SME a template—guided, standards‑aligned tooling available free of charge. The effect isn’t just cost savings; it’s cultural. Once organization discover that compliance is navigable, curiosity replaces avoidance. They start asking better questions: Which Scope 3 categories matter? Which metrics are decision‑useful to our buyers? and so on.
By offering how-to resource on aligning different standards in the ecosystem, APF turns a fragmented marketplace of frameworks into a coherent learning path—the difference between a maze and a map.
