group<\/strong>, where businesses can explore ways to \u201cwork as a system\u201d on these issues and, subsequently, initiate concrete inter-company collaborations and partnerships with other local actors.<br>Key steps for this working group should include:<br>\u2022 <strong>Identifying the needs<\/strong> expressed by businesses and other local stakeholders regarding various aspects of sustainability;<br>\u2022 <strong>Identifying specific resources and skills<\/strong> that these businesses and stakeholders can contribute to addressing those needs;<br>\u2022 Organizing <strong>structured working sessions<\/strong> to implement collaborative and supportive actions on specific topics.<br>Ultimately, this working model aims to pursue four main objectives:<br>Knowledge sharing among companies regarding sustainability practices (including knowledge and information transfer from large to small and medium-sized enterprises&nbsp;as well as across sectors and business sizes);<br>\u2022 Identifying areas for operational collaboration among companies to implement social responsibility practices (e.g., joint investments to optimize logistics or employee mobility);<br>\u2022 Identifying shared support needs among companies and opening dialogue with other local stakeholders to co-design solutions that address those needs;<br>\u2022 Raising awareness and engagement among citizens and institutions on sustainability issues and the efforts already being undertaken by businesses in this area.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>RESEARCH
