Hearing: Embracing Corporate Social Responsibility: Small Business Best Practices

Committee on Small Business

Wednesday, December 4, 2019 (11:30 AM)

2360 RHOB
Washington, D.C.
For decades, small businesses have been leaders in delivering value for their communities, but they can face resource constraints in their efforts to scale up their sustainability practices. This hearing will examine how small businesses can integrate best practices that promote social good and sustainability at all stages, either as part of an initial business plan or later in the life of their company, and assess how the federal government can support and empower small business owners to not only make a profit, but be forces for social good.
