Commission with the aim of taking into account for policies to support
SMEs in cohesion programs European Union 2007-2013.
The E-Teams are working groups composed of between 6 and 10 SMEs,
together with representatives of the administration and the universities,
each of the participating countries who worked in coordination with the
so-called MAPs, groups which bring together representatives of the
administration, university and private sector, and exploit the information

CREARSE
Fields Corporate Social Responsibility, Small and Medium Firms Competitiveness,

Since the creation of the State Council of the Spanish Government for
Corporate Social Responsibility, the Spanish government has become a
firm supporter of CSR as a tool to enhance competitiveness. Funditec,
aware of the need to improve CSR values among the business
environment, designed the CREARSE project intended to make visible the
efforts made by SMEs in this respect and in coherence with the strategic
vision of public administration.

By means of the CREARSE project, Funditec developed a web site including
variegated content related to Corporate Social Responsibility issues; this,
allowed SMEs to implement CSR-related innovation and strategies in their
strategies. The absence of a regulatory framework for CSR at the time,
were the grounds to add a virtual space allowing companies to understand
the benefits and opportunities posed by CSR and the various initiatives
they could take in this regard.

With this in mind, the project had as its paramount objective the creation
of a Cluster of CSR-sensitive Small and Medium Enterprises

Funditec, in collaboration with other agents in the region worked on a
study of the art of ecological products and services in order to inform
companies (in particular SMEs) on the added value provided by eco-
friendly products and services.

With this intention Funditec collaborated in the development of a
methodology that would offer participant SMEs accessible and easy-to-use
tools for the identification of market opportunities. These tools required a
minimal investment of resources from the incumbent firms. This
methodology used the ISO 14062 regulation due to SMEs familiarity with
them.

The work performed by Funditec allowed 4 SMEs in Galicia and 6 SMEs in
Catalonia to use an accessible Ecodesign-oriented methodology and
allowed them to endow their products and services with a needs-sensitive
design.

Target Group

Activities

- Analysis of Eco-design needs and opportunities in the regions of
Catalonia and Galicia
- Development of a shared methodology aimed at providing SMEs
with valuable tools to understand Ecodesign benefits.
