We Mean Business Coalition reposted this
What's the one topic I've noticed has been front and centre at London Climate Action Week? Small and medium sized businesses - from how they access financing to the support they need within large corporate supply chains. When the We Mean Business Coalition initiative, SME Climate Hub, surveyed its community of committed businesses earlier this year, 63% reported they had not been asked by any stakeholder to reduce emissions. There is a real opportunity for stakeholders, including large corporates, financial institutions and all organisations working with SMEs, to mobilize the SMEs in their value chains and networks. To help with this, we’ve released two new resources on the SME Climate Hub: - Mobilize your SMEs – guidance and ideas on how to mobilize SMEs in your value chains and networks through the SME Climate Hub https://lnkd.in/es2WdqbV - Our SMEs – where any stakeholder can easily track the progress of our SME commitments and reporting https://lnkd.in/ePNnP64g Check out the new tools today! #WMBC #LCAW
Great insights from #LCAW2024 Lydia Elliott 🙌🏽
Great resource for SMEs - thanks for sharing!

1moWe also find it the other way round. Those impactful #SMEs have little to say when it comes to forcing the corporates to take climate action. I believe the #MENA region corporates need to take more action on reducing their emissions and getting #impactful SMEs on to the supply chain. Many SMEs are taking responsibility, we need large corporate’s to do the same. We should all have the same goal to move the needle.
