Climate risks are intensifying, regulatory pressures are accelerating, and value chains are already being affected. For French SMEs and SMIs, taking action on the climate is no longer a choice, but a condition for survival and competitiveness.
A risk that is still underestimated... but very real
According to a study by Bpifrance Le Lab , 1 in 2 SME managers recognize that climate change will have an impact on their business in the coming years. Yet, only 10% currently integrate it into their strategy . This gap between awareness and action poses a real risk.
The facts are there:
· Increase in extreme weather events,
· Pressure on natural resources,
· Regulatory inflation (CSRD, taxonomy, Green Industry law),
· Destabilization of supply chains.
The National Climate Change Adaptation Plan highlights that VSEs and SMEs have a crucial role to play in ensuring the resilience of territories: continuity of services, energy security, infrastructure management, health, etc.
Bpifrance's Decarbon'Action Diagnosis: a lever for strategic action
To meet these challenges, Bpifrance and ADEME have launched Diag Décarbon'Action , an operational tool designed for SMEs.
This diagnosis allows:
· Carry out a clear inventory of the company's greenhouse gas emissions,
· Identify concrete levers for carbon reduction,
· Define a personalized roadmap ,
· Be supported by referenced experts .
