Abstract
This paper examines the interplay between global competitiveness and environmental sustainability, focusing on financing and business development strategies for U.S. small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). As global markets increasingly emphasize sustainable practices, U.S. SMEs face unique challenges and opportunities in integrating environmental goals with growth strategies. The study explores how sustainable financing options, such as green bonds and impact investing, can support SMEs in adopting eco-friendly technologies and practices while enhancing their competitive edge in international markets. It also analyzes the role of government incentives, policy frameworks, and innovative business models in fostering sustainable development for these firms. Through a review of successful case studies, the paper identifies best practices that enable SMEs to navigate regulatory requirements, leverage sustainable funding sources, and implement effective business strategies that align with environmental goals. By identifying key factors for balancing growth and sustainability, this research provides actionable insights into how U.S. SMEs can enhance their global competitiveness in an increasingly eco-conscious economy. Keywords: Global Competitiveness, Sustainability, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs), Sustainable Financing, Green Bonds.
