Mission Statement
SMEunited (European Association of Craft, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) is the employers' organisation representing the interests of European crafts, trades and SMEs at EU level. SMEunited is a recognised European Social Partner and acts on behalf of crafts and SMEs in the European Social Dialogue and in discussions with the EU institutions. Among its objectives, SMEunited strives to keep its members informed on all matters of European Union policy and support them academically, technically and legally on all areas of EU policy including Occupational Safety and Health. SMEunited endeavours to ensure that the interests of crafts and SMEs are taken into account in all legislation that has an impact on them.
Our campaign pledge
SMEunited is committed to support the 'Safe and healthy work in the digital age 2023-2025' campaign in cooperation with European Social Partners and all relevant stakeholders. We will echo the messages of the campaign with all our members, representing more than 24 million SMEs and crafts from more than 30 countries in Europe. Raising awareness on digitalisation and its opportunities and challenges is a fundamental pillar of healthy workplaces in the future and SMEunited is honoured to support OSHA and the European Commission with their campaign.

SMEunited Secretary General
Our SMEs are going digital and we aim to ensure that they seize opportunities in a way that respects entrepreneurs and workers needs, which requires anticipating change and developing digital skills. Awareness raising on the benefits and challenges of digitalisation has to be highlighted as an element of prevention, to ensure that SMEs and their workers can use digital technologies to improve health and safety at work.
