Through the journey of ZED Certification, MSMEs can reduce wastage substantially, increase productivity, enhance environmental consciousness, save energy, optimally use natural resources, expand their markets etc.

MSMEs will also be motivated to adopt best practices in work culture, standardization of products, systems and processes in order to enhance the MSME's global competitiveness and sustainability.

The ZED Certification aims at enhancing the competitiveness of an MSME through assessment, modification through guidance/handholding, managerial and technological intervention - not just Certification. 

Apart from this, the Ministry of MSME will soon be announcing additional incentives which an MSME can avail after achieving a Certification Level.
