Business Declares

Upon our reflection on the worsening polycrisis thus far, Business Declares has renewed its position statement, calling for urgent change... It has been half a decade since Business Declares was launched, during the growing wave of climate awareness and climate strikes during September 2019. Five years on, it is clear that the combined efforts of businesses, governments and citizens have fallen well short of making any real impact on the climate, nature and social crisis, and of delivering a just transition. As we near the midpoint towards the next decade in addressing key targets for both climate and nature, Business Declares feels that it is critically important to acknowledge this worsening situation, by publishing our renewed "Business Declares Manifesto" comprising our renewed set of commitments, which we ask our business members to adopt, as we enter our fifth year of operations. Our new Business Declares Manifesto incorporates input from 40+ members, and comprises of: ✳ Our fundamental beliefs: 3 concerns we have about the gap between progress and need ✳ Best practice principles: 5 areas of best practice and the principles that underlie them that we ask our members to openly acknowledge ✳ The Business Declares Commitments: The threshold for becoming part of the Business Declares network with its agenda for change ✳ Working together: The characteristics of this network that help deliver the outcomes we need. Business Declares calls on businesses to adopt these best practice principles and commitments, regardless of where they are in their climate-nature journeys, to drive meaningful, urgent change, in the face of the worsening polycrisis.
