Abstract

Eigenschaften wie z. B. hohe Flexibilität, schnelle Entscheidungsprozesse oder Langfristorientierung begünstigen die Transformationsanstrengungen mittelständischer Unternehmen. Jedoch fehlt es insbesondere dem kleineren Mittelstand oft an zeitlichen und finanziellen Mitteln, um die grüne Transformation bewältigen zu können. Um den Mittelstand nicht übermäßig zu belasten, sollte auf Ge- und Verbote sowie Berichtspflichten soweit wie möglich verzichtet werden. Stattdessen sollte der Zertifikatehandel ausgebaut werden. Um Benachteiligungen mittelständischer Unternehmen im internationalen Wettbewerb zu vermeiden, könnte (wieder) eine unentgeltliche Zuteilung der Zertifikate erfolgen. Die Übergangsphase sollte zeitlich gestreckt werden, die Kosten für die Umstellung der Energieinfrastruktur sollten weitgehend öffentlich finanziert und nicht auf mittelständische Unternehmen umgelegt werden.
