It is advisable to do so. Many SMEs are suppliers to larger organisations that impose quality and environmental requirements within their supply chain. In many cases, these requirements can only be met by implementing a management system and being certified. Further, governments apply quality, environmental and even sustainability criteria in their purchasing and procurement activities. Hence the need for SMEs to implement quality and environmental management systems to stay in business.
