GRANTS
The goal of We Mean Business Coalition is clear, consistent and science-based: to halve emissions by 2030 and transition to a net zero economy by 2050.
To deliver this goal, the Coalition deploys a range of strategic approaches to catalyze
business and policy action. We play a vital role within our ecosystem in convening partners, incubating ideas, co-designing projects and aligning efforts for maximum impact.
Through our grants programme, we mobilize philanthropic funding to invest in portfolios of initiatives that have the potential to realize a net zero economy at speed and scale.
Please be aware that we review grant submissions by invitation only.

IMPACT
We Mean Business Coalition’s track record in delivering transformational impact in the corporate climate community is well-established. The Coalition has facilitated and supported major initiatives that are driving impact, collaboration and innovation towards a net zero future, including:
– Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)
– SME Climate Hub
As a direct result of these initiatives, the number of companies globally setting a science-based target to cut their emissions has grown from a few companies – when the Coalition was founded in 2014 – to more than 21,700.
Demand-side initiatives backed by the Coalition– have helped create and shape markets for sustainable products and industries around the world. Meanwhile our work to mobilize collective action for system and policy change continues to advance through our work with grantees globally. Read our latest case studies below.
