The cluster also developed its own <a href=\"https:\/\/nwcluster.no\/en\/the-first-reuse-center-for-building-materials-in-inland-norway-34\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sustainability reporting guide<\/a> for the forestry and wood industry to provide an overview and make it easier for companies to retrieve relevant key figures,&#8221; says Sanness.   <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; However, the status is that few of the SMEs in our cluster have so far taken on the task of creating their own sustainability report. The situation is the same among the SMEs in Sweden that are from our sector,&#8221; says Sanness. She is now promoting a course in simple sustainability reporting with SMEs as the target group.  <strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Norwegian-Swedish course offerings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Interreg project &#8220;Circular Bioeconomy Arena&#8221; focuses on SMEs and now invites you to a course in simple sustainability reporting for SMEs.

By participating in the course, you get:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A complete VSME report that meets the EU voluntary sustainability standard<\/li>\n<li>Peace of mind ahead of future sustainability requirements from customers and stakeholders<\/li>\n<li>Increased competitiveness by meeting the demands of larger players and tenders<\/li>\n<li>Ability to meet larger companies&#8217; needs for sustainability data from suppliers<\/li>\n<li>Improved internal management of sustainability issues in your own company<\/li>\n<li>Offer of a mentoring session after the course<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The course instructors are advisor Ida Marie H. Guldbrandsen and advisor Vegard Gr\u00f8nnerud at Klosser Innovation. Both have an industrial education and broad experience from various businesses, including in the field of sustainability. They will assist both during the implementation of the course itself and as mentors afterwards.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; back_color=&#8221;color-190797&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;664690&#8243; column_width_pixel=&#8221;900&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;155175&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Interreg project Circular Bioeconomy Arena<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Circular Bioeconomy Arena is a Norwegian-Swedish interreg project owned by Norwegian Wood Cluster and Paper Province.
