There is no contradiction between delivering high returns and adopting a long-term approach. Furthermore, as companies begin to adopt these practices, a rising tide will lift all boats: with greater support, SMEs, which currently account for 99% of businesses and two-thirds of private-sector employment in the European Union, will be able to invest in research and development, and to hire more employees.
产生高回报和采取长期视角之间并不矛盾。此外，当公司这样做时，所有企业都能乘东风：有了更大的支持，中小企业——目前占欧盟企业总数的99%，私人部门就业总数的三分之二——将能够投资于研发并雇用更多员工。
