dc.description.abstractThis study investigates the role and impact of non-financial reporting (NFR) regulations on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the European Union. While large enterprises are the primary focus of directives such as the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), SMEs are increasingly affected due to supply chain dependencies and financial incentives. The research aims to assess SME awareness, challenges, and expected benefits related to NFR adoption.The study is based on an empirical survey of 151 SMEs in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland, utilizing statistical methods such as correlation analysis and regression modeling to evaluate attitudes toward compliance and perceived barriers.The findings reveal that while SMEs acknowledge the growing relevance of NFR, resource limitations and lack of expertise hinder effective implementation. Nevertheless, SMEs that have proactively adopted NFR practices report benefits, including enhanced stakeholder relationships and a competitive market advantage.The study highlights the necessity for targeted policy interventions, including financial support, simplified compliance frameworks, and dedicated training initiatives to facilitate SME adaptation to sustainability reporting standards.This research contributes to the ongoing discussion on sustainability reporting by focusing on SMEs, a sector often neglected in NFR policy discussions. The study also provides empirical insights into how regulatory developments shape SME behavior, offering recommendations for policymakers on supporting sustainability transitions in the SME sector.en
dc.description.abstractCelem artykułu jest analiza roli i wpływu regulacji dotyczących raportowania niefinansowego (NFR) na małe i średnie przedsiębiorstwa (MŚP) w Unii Europejskiej. Choć dyrektywy, takie jak Dyrektywa w sprawie raportowania informacji niefinansowych (NFRD) oraz Dyrektywa w sprawie sprawozdawczości przedsiębiorstw w zakresie zrównoważonego rozwoju (CSRD), koncentrują się głównie na dużych firmach, ich oddziaływanie obejmuje także MŚP. Wynika to zarówno z zależności w łańcuchach dostaw, jak i z bodźców finansowych. W artykule oceniono poziom świadomości MŚP, wyzwania oraz potencjalne korzyści związane z wdrażaniem raportowania niefinansowego.W przeprowadzonych badaniach wykorzystano jako narzędzie badawcze kwestionariusz ankietowy, który został skierowany do 151 MŚP z województwa kujawsko-pomorskiego. W celu określenia podejścia przedsiębiorstw do zgodności z regulacjami oraz identyfikacji kluczowych barier zastosowano metody statystyczne, takie jak analiza korelacji i modelowanie regresyjne.Wyniki badań wskazują, że choć MŚP dostrzegają rosnące znaczenie raportowania niefinansowego, ograniczone zasoby oraz brak specjalistycznej wiedzy stanowią istotne bariery jego wdrażania. Jednocześnie firmy, które zdecydowały się na proaktywne wprowadzenie zasad NFR, dostrzegają wymierne korzyści, w tym poprawę relacji z interesariuszami oraz przewagę konkurencyjną.Wyniki badań wskazują na potrzebę wdrożenia dedykowanych działań wspierających MŚP w adaptacji do standardów raportowania zrównoważonego rozwoju. Kluczowe rekomendacje obejmują wsparcie finansowe, uproszczone mechanizmy zgodności oraz specjalistyczne programy szkoleniowe.Artykuł wnosi istotny wkład w debatę na temat raportowania zrównoważonego rozwoju, koncentrując się na sektorze MŚP, który często pozostaje na marginesie polityki NFR. Ponadto dostarcza empirycznych dowodów na wpływ regulacji na funkcjonowanie MŚP oraz wskazuje kluczowe obszary wymagające wsparcia ze strony decydentów w procesie transformacji ku zrównoważonemu rozwojowi.pl
