SME Climate Hub Launches Nordics Campaign: Mobilizes SMEs across the Region to Take Climate Action

Today, the SME Climate Hub launches its Nordics campaign, an initiative designed to mobilize small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the Nordic countries to take decisive climate action. With approximately 2 million SMEs in the region at the forefront of innovation and sustainability, this campaign aims to empower businesses to significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and build resilient business models for the future.

The campaign will engage a broad range of companies, banks, and organizations in the Nordics, aiming to accelerate climate action and position the region as a leader for SME climate action. By joining the campaign and making the SME Climate Commitment, SMEs will gain access to valuable tools and resources to support their climate goals.

Key partners for this campaign include major banks and companies such as Nordea, Ericsson, and Telia, as well as leading SMEs like Icebug, GoClimate, and We Don’t Have Time. These organizations will play a crucial role in promoting and incentivizing the SME Climate Hub within their networks, driving meaningful climate action across the Nordic region.

As part of the launch, the SME Climate Hub has created a Nordics webpage, which is available in English and Swedish and will soon be complemented with other Nordic languages, in order for SMEs to access information and resources in their local language. This localized support will provide guidance for achieving climate targets and help SMEs integrate sustainability into their business models.

We look forward to seeing Nordic SMEs lead the way in climate action and contribute to a sustainable future for all. Join us in this vital initiative and help shape a greener, more resilient future. For more information and to make your climate commitment, visit our Nordics page.
