Abstract

Ovim radom daje se pregled osnovnih pojmova vezanih uz mala i srednja poduzeća (MSP) te njihov prijelaz na zeleni rast u Europskoj uniji i Hrvatskoj. S obzirom da su mala i srednja poduzeća značajna za gospodarstvo Europske unije, a njihov raspored među članicama različit, promatra ih se kako u okviru EU-28 tako i kroz nacionalni odnosno regionalni aspekt. Opće je poznato da su resursi kojima raspolažemo na planeti ograničeni, a njihova iskorištenost sve veća, pa je nužan zaokret ka zaštiti ograničenih resursa. Kako su MSP ključni pokretači svojih regija, nacionalnog i europskog gospodarstva, njihovo uključivanje u koncept kružnog gospodarstva i zaokret prema zelenom gospodarstvu je od presudne važnosti. Radom se nastoji prezentirati strateški okvir djelovanja malih i srednjih poduzeća, kroz glavne dokumente koje je usvojila Europska komisija, kao i niz mjera koje imaju za cilj okretanje ka zelenom gospodarstvu radi što bolje iskorištenosti i zaštite postojećih resursa. Na temelju podataka Eurostata i Eurobarometra analizira se pozicija malih i srednjih poduzeća, iskorištenost i efikasnost resursa u malim i srednjim poduzećima, te stavovi građana o zaštiti okoliša u Europske unije i Republike Hrvatske.

Abstract (english)

This paper gives an overview of basic concepts related to SMEs and their transition to green growth in the European Union and Croatia. Given that SMEs are important to the economy of the European Union, and their distribution among Member States, they are viewed both within the EU-28 and across national or regional aspects. It is common knowledge that the resources available on the planet are limited and their utilization is increasing, so a shift towards protecting scarce resources is necessary. As SMEs are key drivers of their regions, national and European economies, their inclusion in the concept of a circular economy and a shift towards a green economy is crucial. The paper seeks to present a strategic framework for the operation of small and medium-sized enterprises, through the main documents adopted by the European Commission, as well as a series of measures aimed at turning towards a green economy for the best use and protection of existing resources. Based on Eurostat and Eurobarometer data, the position of small and medium-sized enterprises, the utilization and efficiency of resources in small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as citizens' views on environmental protection in the European Union and the Republic of Croatia are analyzed.
