The SME Climate Hub (SMECH) is a global initiative hosted by the We Mean Business Coalition and launched in 2020 with the aim of mobilizing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) – at scale – to take climate action.

The Hub provides a one-stop-shop where SMEs can make a climate commitment and access best-in-class tools and resources to measure their emissions, develop a climate strategy and reduce their footprint at a pace required by science. It is the official pathway for SMEs to join the United Nations Race to Zero campaign.

The Hub also partners with non-profits, multinational companies, financial institutions and governments to create clear incentives and opportunities for SMEs that commit to halving their emissions before 2030 and achieving net zero before 2050. It is driven as a lean start-up project with participation and contribution from the founding partners: We Mean Business Coalition, Exponential Roadmap Initiative and the United Nations Race to Zero.

As we move into the next phase of growth for the SMECH, we are seeking an exceptional Digital Platform Manager to join our high-performing, remote team and build on the current success of the Hub. This role will be focused on evolving the Hub’s digital platform and developing related tools to ensure the SMECH retains its position as the leading platform supporting SMEs and multinational supply chains in achieving rapid decarbonization globally.
