Sustainabality Boosts Performance So Why Aren't All SMBs Going Green?
Michelle Ovens CBE, founder of Small Business Britain, says sustainability should not be seen as a ... More burden Should small businesses prioritise sustainability at a time when - quite frankly- most owners and managers are grappling with a range of challenges that include rising labor costs, high inflation and a continuing degree of economic uncertainty? Well, according to the U.K. government-backed Willow Review, small-and-medium-sized businesses stand to gain financially if they adopt sustainability policies that are aligned with the net-zero agenda. There is, however, a problem. Most SMB feel constrained by a lack of resources. Yes, they would like to cut waste and reduce emissions, but they are deterred by the prospect of high upfront costs and the need to rethink their operational practices. The Willow Review was launched in November 2024 by Small Business Minister Gareth Thomas with a brief to explore how sustainability practices could deliver financial benefits to SMBs. Co-chaired by Thomas, Nick Stace of Barclays Bank and Small Business Britain CEO Michelle Ovens CBE, the initiative drew on the experience of around 400 businesses through surveys and focus groups. Last week, the review published its findings, along with recommendations aimed at helping businesses to trade more sustainably. There was, of course, a very clear agenda. The remit for the review took it as read that green policies could and should deliver financial benefits rather than being seen as a burden. The challenge was to identify the potential gains and present them in a way that would make sense to business owners. 'We aim to show that sustainability is not just a moral obligation, but a real chance for growth and resilience,' says Michelle Ovens, CEO of Small Business Britain. 'We wanted to shift the narrative and have sustainability be seen as the profit-driving opportunity it is.' According to the researchers, those businesses that have taken steps to reduce their environmental impact are reporting improvements to the bottom line, with more than two-thirds saying they have reduced operational costs. In addition, the green halo effect does appear to have an impact on marketing and sales success. More than half of the businesses surveyed said they had attracted new customers as a direct result of green initiatives, and around a third reported improved customer loyalty. According to Ovens, this points to a strong business case. 'The business case is clear: sustainability can help the UK's small businesses to cut costs, reach new markets, and build stronger relationships with customers and employees,' she says. So why isn't everyone going green? You could argue that when you look at the big picture, the mood has changed. COVID, the subsequent energy price crisis and high across-the-board inflation created a much less favorable trading environment for many businesses, forcing them to focus on survival rather than pursuing net-zero policies. Meanwhile, politics has become more polarised on the issue. Against this backdrop, SMBs - even those that in principle see the benefits of doing business sustainably - are wary. The report cites factors such as upfront costs, a lack of financial support from banks and other institutions and a lack of knowledge as major barriers. Or to put it another way, businesses don't always know what to do and even if they did, they may struggle to access the necessary finance to change their operational practices. Marco Donzelli, CEO of HLB International says SMBs should set objectives. So, what can SMBs actually do? The report sets out a number of steps, including using renewable energy, waste reduction, logistics efficiency, green supply chains, and the adoption of sustainable materials. Is this practical? Marco Donzelli is CEO of HLB, a consultancy that has worked with SMBs to help them improve their sustainability practices. As he sees it, SMBs should avoid over-ambition in their planning. 'The risk is that you start writing all these policies but you don't really do much. You might have a million options and you don't know where to start,' he says. 'If I had to give advice, I'd say, start small. Pick up the two or three main things that are easy to do and have an impact.' And as he points out, small businesses can reap tangible benefits from relatively small changes. 'It shouldn't be hard to do an energy audit. Replace light bulbs, install solar panels. Have conversations with suppliers,' he adds. Michelle Ovens has a similar perspective, saying that business owners can 'track progress by setting clear, measurable goals and using simple systems to monitor outcomes, like carbon emissions or waste reduction.' Of course, solar panels do involve upfront costs, but finding an energy supplier that sources renewable power from wind, solar farms and possibly nuclear is more straightforward, certainly within the U.K.'s competitive energy supply market. Some changes may be trickier. For instance, while large companies can use their market power to require smaller suppliers to adopt green policies, SMBs rarely have the economic muscle to require their own suppliers to do the same. What small companies can do, however, is talk to suppliers and identify those who can demonstrate their green credentials or who can deliver an environmentally friendly brief. 'You can optimize your vendor agreements to support your sustainability policies," says Donzelli. This won't necessarily save money but establishing a green supply chain has other benefits, not least in terms of attracting customers. In the B2B market, major companies are greening their own supply chains and want to see commitment from SMBs. Over in the B2C space, environmental policies can be a sales driver. Overall, Donzelli says the key to progress is a plan well. 'You need to have objectives and the rest will come. There are frameworks to adopt and partnerships you can work with. There might also be best practice groups,' he says. For its part, the Willow Review recommends actio to provide more mentoring, advice and access to finance. Does this matter? Much of the focus around net-zero has been on large polluters. Individually, few SMBs have a major impact on the environment. Collectively, however, they are responsible for 50% of U.K. emissions. They are an important part of the picture.

TAIPEI, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Energenesis Biomedical Co., Ltd. (TWSE: 6657), a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering cellular energy restoration therapeutics, today announced its participation in the BIO International Convention 2025, taking place June 16–19 in Boston, MA. The company will be located at Booth #1645 within the Taiwan Pavilion, to showcase its innovative ENERGI Platform and provide a key update on its investigational Parkinson's disease (PD) therapy, ENERGI-F705PD, a first-in-class treatment with disease-modifying potential. Key Highlights: ENERGI-F705PD is a first-in-class, oral sustained-release therapy in development for Parkinson's disease, designed to address the underlying pathogenesis. Topline data from the Phase I trial in healthy subjects are anticipated in September 2025, following successful completion of recruitment. ENERGI-F705PD aims to combat the root causes of Parkinson's by reducing alpha-synuclein aggregation, enhancing antioxidant capacity, and boosting dopamine synthesis. "We are eager to present the exciting progress of our ENERGI-F705PD program at BIO International 2025," said Dr. Han-Min Chen, CEO of Energenesis Biomedical. "Parkinson's disease remains a challenging condition with significant unmet needs.

About ENERGI-F705PD ENERGI-F705PD is a novel small-molecule drug delivered in an oral sustained-release formulation. It is designed to enhance cellular ATP and antioxidant production by engaging the purine salvage, glycolysis, and pentose phosphate pathways. This multi-pronged mechanism of action directly addresses key pathological hallmarks of Parkinson's disease: Reduce and Prevent α-Synuclein Aggregation: Elevated ATP acts as a hydrotrope, helping prevent the intracellular aggregation of misfolded α-synuclein, a central pathogenic hallmark of PD. Increase Reducing Power (antioxidant): ENERGI-F705PD upregulates the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), leading to increased NADPH production and enhanced cellular antioxidant defense. Increase Tyrosine Hydroxylase Expression/activity: By optimizing cellular energy metabolism and engaging the purine salvage pathway, ENERGI-F705PD also enhances the expression and activity of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), the key enzyme in dopamine synthesis, thereby helping restore neurotransmitter levels in the brains of PD patients.

Marelli Initiates Voluntary U.S. Chapter 11 Proceedings to Strengthen Financial Position and Facilitate a Value-Maximizing Restructuring
Reaches Restructuring Support Agreement ("RSA") with Approximately 80% of Lenders Secures Commitment of $1.1 Billion in Debtor-in-Possession ("DIP") Financing from Lenders 100% of Secured Debt to be Eliminated Access to New Liquidity Designed to Support Normal Course Business Operations; Marelli will Continue Delivering Reliable, High-Performance Products for Customers TOKYO, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Marelli Holdings Co. Ltd. ("Marelli" or the "Company"), a global technology partner to the automotive industry, today announced that it has commenced voluntary chapter 11 cases in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in order to comprehensively restructure its long‑term debt obligations. Approximately 80% of the Company's lenders have signed an agreement to support the restructuring (the "Restructuring Support Agreement"), which will deleverage Marelli's balance sheet and strengthen its liquidity position. Throughout this process and moving forward, Marelli does not expect any operational impact from the chapter 11 process, and the Company will continue to work closely with its customers, suppliers, and partners to innovate and invest in its portfolio of advanced technologies that will differentiate the vehicles of the future and transform mobility. A complete list of the Marelli affiliates involved in the chapter 11 cases can be found at "At Marelli, we have been proactive in making necessary adjustments to stabilize our financial position so that we can continue to deliver long-term benefits for our valued customers, partners and employees," said David Slump, President and CEO, Marelli. "While we are pleased with our recent progress and profitability, industry-wide market pressures have created a gap in working capital that must be addressed. After careful review of the Company's strategic alternatives, we have determined that entering the chapter 11 process is the best path to strengthen Marelli's balance sheet by converting debt to equity, while ensuring we continue operating as usual. Taking this action now provides access to new liquidity to fund our long-term growth and innovation pipeline, and ensures our customers and partners all over the world can continue to rely on Marelli for on-time delivery of advanced technologies that shape the vehicles of the future." Mr. Slump continued, "Marelli's focus on innovation, digitalization and technology has never been stronger. As we move through this process, we will continue to serve our customers and work with our suppliers and partners as they have come to expect. We are also grateful for the hard work and dedication of our employees who remain focused on delivering the best service possible." To support the Company during this process, Marelli has received a significant commitment for $1.1 billion in debtor-in-possession financing ("DIP Financing") from its lenders. This additional capital underscores lenders' continued support and confidence in the Company's underlying business and its long-term potential. Upon Court approval, the DIP Financing, coupled with cash generated from the Company's ongoing operations, is expected to provide sufficient liquidity to support the Company through the chapter 11 process. In addition to the DIP Financing, the Restructuring Support Agreement provides for a comprehensive deleveraging transaction through which the DIP Lenders will take ownership of the business upon emergence from chapter 11, subject to a 45-day overbid process. Marelli filed a number of customary first day motions seeking Court approval to continue its operations throughout the chapter 11 process, including, among other things, payment of employee wages and benefits without interruption and continuation of programs that are integral to customer relationships. The Company anticipates receiving Court approval for these requests and intends to continue honoring its obligations to key stakeholders post‑filing, including by satisfying payment obligations to suppliers for goods and services provided in accordance with customary terms after the filing. The Company will be working with its suppliers regarding obligations which arose before the chapter 11 filing to reach agreements on payment terms.
