COP31 ROUNDTABLE: SMEs SPEAKING UP
Help shape how the UK shows up at COP31
Firstly, it's nice to meet you. We're Winnow Club, a collective of SMEs advocating for climate and nature.
And, this year, we'll be flying the flag for smaller businesses in the UK Clean Growth Coalition at COP31. Working with and speaking to those shaping how the world works.
This roundtable will be digging into your insights, perspectives, ambitions, what's needed to achieve them, and more.
The outcome will be a super compelling, cross-industry case for action and ambition from us smaller businesses too. We'll then carry this forward for you, making sure it gets to the people who need to hear it.
Why SMEs?
It's important those in power hear from us smaller businesses during these key moments. After all, we contribute half of the UK's turnover, employ over half the workforce, and no one knows our communities and operations like we do.
To date, our voice has been underrepresented. This is our chance to change that together, taking the SME voice to new heights.
A few notes
This roundtable is capped at 24 attendees to encourage full participation.
Please only register if you would like to actively engage during the session.
We define SMEs as: under 250 employees, less than £50m turnover.
You don't need to be perfect, just proactively integrating climate and nature considerations into how you do things.
We're at COP31 to champion progress and ambition. We are looking for businesses who share this perspective.
Consultancies and professional services: One of the main things here is to create a platform for SMEs to speak up, in the first person. Due to this, for this session, we won't be accepting registrations from organisations whose impact is predominantly through their clients or members, including consultancies and some professional services (but we still very much respect your work empowering businesses like us).
