We Mean Business is a coalition of international non-profit organisations which works with businesses to encourage them to take action on climate change and commit to the establishment of a zero-carbon economy. It helps companies set emissions targets and transition to renewable energy, and highlights how taking action against climate change can be a driver of innovation and a foundation for sustainable business growth. It also lobbies governments to implement policies that support environmentally friendly development.
In March 2020, the organisation issued a statement calling for governments and businesses to use the coronavirus crisis as an opportunity to build resilience and sustainability into future economic growth by putting the climate at the heart of policy and practice. It said: “Stimulus spending decisions should be screened through the lens of climate and resilience to ensure new dollars are directed toward zero-carbon options… A clear signal from governments that they back the rapid transition to a resilient zero-carbon economy and support the raft of climate solutions that already exist will help the private sector invest confidently as it acts to rebuild and boost the economy.”
Type of organisation: non-profit company
