Business declares a climate emergency
As business leaders we declare a climate and ecological emergency
We commit to tell the truth on the climate and ecological emergency, and to inspire urgent action and debate.
We celebrate and support all the companies who declare and want to inspire others on this path.
We use our influence to engage business leaders who want to understand what it means to declare and we challenge them to set their own targets and actions.
We position ourselves as challengers and urge faster action than the Paris agreement.*
*As called for by students, central bankers, policy makers, leaders in culture, doctors and engineers

The Team, Board and Advisory Panel
We are a group of business leaders, who want to accelerate action on the climate emergency and we are working on a voluntary basis. We have set up a not for profit company to run Business Declares as a campaign to the end of 2020.
We welcome help and volunteer support from all those who support our aims.
