Abstract

In the current environment, there is an increased thrust to outsource manufacturing activities to developing countries. Countries such as India are actively inviting MNCs to partner with micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). It is assumed that these initiatives would act as an incentive to increase their economic development. As most of the national, international agencies and regulatory bodies focus on the larger companies it is often ignored to account for the contribution of MSMEs towards improving sustainability. As every nation-state has a vital role to play in ensuring the successful implementation of the sustainable development goals (SDGs), it is important to study and document the contribution of this sector towards SDGs. This article tries to document small but effective sustainable development initiatives by MSMEs. It tries to map the contribution of the four selected MSMEs towards SDGs. All these efforts are beyond the compliance requirement mandated to MSMEs in India.
