What we do

We use the power of collaboration to bring business action together with supportive policies and incentives to build resilient economies. See the Coalition’s areas of focus, what we offer for business and government, and our upcoming events.

What does We Mean Business Coalition do?

We bridge and convene policymakers, partners and businesses of all sizes across our three foundational areas of work to:

  • Unite business voices to speak credibly, confidently and consistently at the moments that matter, including through high profile events that shift the narrative and improve conditions for action;
  • Positively influence policy, removing barriers and creating the conditions for businesses to go further, faster;
  • Mobilize collective, ambitious business action, by offering science-backed tools, guidance and platforms businesses can trust.

The ambition loop: business and policy working together

What we do is underpinned by evidence that business and government action can reinforce each other to accelerate action and build more stable, prosperous and competitive businesses and economies.

  • Leadership from business gives governments greater confidence, spurring them to set stronger policies that help businesses achieve their climate goals faster.
  • By setting the right policies and regulations, policymakers enable more businesses to lead by cutting emissions and building resilient supply chains faster.

In a polarized world, a credible and unified business voice is increasingly important in shaping discourse and building support for business and policy action.
