Small99 Declares!

It’s imperative that we appreciate the impact the climate crisis will have on business.

Adapting to a zero carbon economy provides huge opportunities for small businesses to not only adapt to an environmentally beneficial way of doing business, but also grow profitably as a result. The transition requires action, but with this challenge comes opportunity.

This is why Small99 has the mission to bring 1 million small businesses to Net Zero by 2025, across all 3 scopes. Commitments to 2040 and 2050 simply aren’t good enough. 2030 isn’t ambitious enough. Most small businesses have simple actions they can take to reduce their impact, and can do so much quicker than the larger companies who have long term commitments.

Without bold and decisive action, we still risk achieving dangerous levels of warming that will harm our planet, and our businesses as a result.

We have a finite amount of emissions left before we exceed 1.5 or even 2 degrees of warming. Business is a key part of the system that generates these emissions, and we need to change the way we do business to become a force for good rather than the historical damage we have seen.

That is why we believe 2025 is not only ambitious but also a practical target for a large chunk of our economy.

We inspire and empower businesses to make change quickly. We’re developing training courses, easy to use tools and provide guidance that anyone can follow.

Small99 declares business energy and is excited to join the Business Declares Movement.
