Introduction
This unit provides SMEs managers with a non exhaustive but still very rich list of possible tools, software and

We invite learners to go through the tools, read the descriptions and choose the ones which best suit their
organisations and the goals they may have set, and lever the power of technology to make a sustainable
impact on your SME.

result in significant waste, is a critical environmental
concern that is gaining widespread public attention.

While a particular search engine's global market
dominance is undeniable, it is worthwhile to note
that there exist alternative search engines with
specific applications. Ecosia is one such search
engine, distinguished by its unrelenting
commitment to sustainability and environmental
responsibility.
At the core of this commitment lies the utilization of
100% renewable energy to power Ecosia's servers,
with a significant proportion of the profits directed
towards reforestation initiatives. As per the
organization's claims, each search query effectively
removes approximately one kilogram of carbon
from the atmosphere, underscoring the tangible
impact of Ecosia's eco-friendly ethos.
