The Real Estate Market Development Institute "Plectan", as an active participant of the National SMB Platform, joined the development of the standard within the expert discussion "Concept of the Voluntary Standard for the Activity of Business Associations in Ukraine".

The meeting discussed key aspects of the creation and implementation of the Voluntary Standard:

• How can the standard become an effective tool for the development of BA?

• How ready are Ukrainian BAs for its implementation?

• What structure, framework, criteria, and components should the standard include?

• What practical benefits does it provide for BAs?

📋 Participants of the event had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the concept of the standard, its main dimensions, and mechanisms for confirming compliance. The discussion made it possible to determine the first steps for integrating the standard into the Ukrainian business environment.

This standard will serve as a guideline for strengthening the activities of business associations, increasing their transparency, trust, and effectiveness. It will help to solve systemic problems, expand the membership base, and engage micro, small, and medium enterprises in collaboration.
