“…The capacity development driver consists of elements that aim to train the owners, managers and other workers of SMEs, encouraging and qualifying them in issues related to sustainable development. Human capital is one of the most valuable assets for companies to achieve their goals and is a fundamental factor in sustainable development (Mansor et al ., 2015). Thus, empowerment and people management is a relevant issue to be addressed in SMEs aiming to identify and develop skills consistent with the company's values, provide well-being to workers, offer life and technical skills training to workers, encourage workers to develop innovative ideas, and encourage them to participate in decision making, value their own managers and encourage workers to contribute to a more just and prosperous society and to minimize environmental pollution (Kantabutra, 2019).…”
