Abstract
Sustainability strategies in Botswana enterprises have gained increasing attention due to the country's commitment to sustainable development goals (SDGs). The research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews with quantitative data analysis of enterprise reports. The sample included large and small businesses across various sectors. Findings indicate that while all companies reported efforts towards sustainability, small enterprises showed higher proportions (45%) in implementing SDG-aligned strategies compared to larger firms (30%). The comparative analysis reveals significant variations in sustainability practices among Botswana businesses, with notable differences between large and small entities. Recommendations include fostering a more inclusive environment for small enterprises through targeted support programmes to enhance their sustainability efforts.
