The Sustaining Competitive and Responsible Enterprises (SCORE) programme is
a global technical assistance programme developed by the ILO to support
small and medium sized enterprises’ (SMEs) development and create 
decent work. The SCORE programme aims to solve problems faced by SMEs 
through a short-term training for managers and employees, along with 
on-site expert consultations and guidance.
Through the SCORE programme, SMEs are expected to:

1. Improve worksite management and reduce unnecessary work by implementing 5S systems, in order to improve quality and productivity.
2. Improve human resource management abilities and to create a better communication environment for both management and workers.
3. Boost corporate responsibility through environment management and cleaner production so as to achieve higher economic returns.
4. Improve occupational health and safety management and create a better work environment.
