Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
There are a confusing range of possibilities that SME's are unlikely to be equipped to assess without a set of dependant standards to guide them. The criteria for such decisions needs examination, the approach and comparative measurement needs standards to be effective. This project links the SMEs operating in the business arena and the standards development to support their operations. Sustainability standards often have conflicting objectives, so a specific plan to develop appropriate standards to the benefit of the EU does affect the global community.

Impact on SMEs (8th Open Call)
There are a confusing range of possibilities that SME’s are unlikely to be equipped to assess without a set of dependant standards to guide them. The criteria for such decisions needs examination, the approach & comparative measurement needs standards to be effective. This project links the SMEs operating in the business arena and the standards development to support their operations. Sustainability standards often have conflicting objectives, a specific plan to develop appropriate standards to the benefit of the EU SMEs is very applicable guidance.

Impact on society (8th Open Call)
The sustainable role of DLT is in its ability to bring multi-vendor, multi-agency and multi-domain groups of stakeholders together such as required to tackle greenwashing and mass data verification. The standards require in such diverse areas as fish-farm verification to the development of mass data processing in space (especially relevant to the increasing load from AI systems), has the potential to extract over 15% of current energy use from the global atmosphere. Radical, but attainable schemes like these need rapid standards development to enable their use, so that the impact can be made within years, not decades.
