Resumo: Access to financing for sustainability is commonly mentioned as one of the main challenges for SMEs in becoming more sustainable. This work focuses on Portuguese SMEs and explores the importance they attribute to finance as a lever to improve their sustainability, as well as the main challenges faced by them in accessing sustainable finance. 20 challenges possibly conditioning Portuguese SMEs’ access to sustainable finance were identified and categorized. A survey among 563 Portuguese SMEs substantiates the existence of most of these challenges but suggests the existence of levers to improve SMEs’ sustainability more important than access to finance for sustainability.
