- The SME Climate Hub provides small and medium-sized enterprises with free resources to help reduce emissions. - By making the SME Climate Commitment, businesses are counted in the United Nations’-backed Race to Zero campaign. - The SME Climate Hub is now available in Arabic for the first time. New York, NY – October 3, 2023: The COP28 Presidency in collaboration with the SME Climate Hub and We Mean Business Coalition, have launched a campaign to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) implement net-zero strategies. COP28 & SME Climate Hub for MENA was developed to elevate the role of SMEs in the climate process and has made the SME Climate Hub available in Arabic. Through the collaboration with the COP28 Presidency, the SME Climate Hub will expand its reach in the MENA region, which relies on the resilience of its SMEs. Launched in partnership with Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company – Masdar and supported by First Abu Dhabi Bank and the Abu Dhabi Chamber, COP28 & SME Climate Hub for MENA will help businesses with under 500 employees make a globally recognized climate commitment and be counted in the United Nations-backed Race to Zero campaign. It will also provide access to free tools and resources which will allow SMEs to implement emissions reduction strategies across their businesses. H.E. Majid Al Suwaidi, Director-General and Special Representative, COP28, said, “SMEs comprise up to 90% of all businesses in the Middle East and North Africa, hence they form a major part of the region’s economy and have an integral role to play in accelerating MENA’s transition to net zero. Expanding the SME Climate Hub’s regionalization in MENA will help us to deliver the most inclusive COP to date, support SMEs with their climate goals and ensure they are a vital part of our collective efforts to keep 1.5C within reach.” H.E. Razan Al Mubarak, UN Climate Change High-Level Champion, COP28, said: “Climate action is an all-of-society mandate and endeavor. Businesses of all sizes are essential in accelerating our green transition to a net-zero, nature-positive future. At the same time, a robust climate strategy benefits companies by unlocking growth opportunities and future-proofing their businesses. The MENA SME Climate Hub will be a turning point for small and medium-sized businesses in the region to commit to a recognized climate goal, access practical tools and resources, and build business resilience.” The SME Climate Hub was founded by the We Mean Business Coalition, the Exponential Roadmap Initiative, and the United Nations Race to Zero campaign to provide tools and resources for SMEs to make a globally recognized climate commitment, take positive action, and measure their progress towards emissions reductions. Businesses which join the SME Climate Hub community officially commit to halving emissions by 2030, becoming net zero before 2050, and reporting on their progress yearly. By cutting emissions, businesses have the opportunity to lower production costs, increase efficiency, and gain greater access to capital and markets with environmental demands and regulations. Over 6,800 SMEs across 127 different countries have already made the commitment, with a growing number from the MENA region. María Mendiluce, CEO of We Mean Business Coalition, a founding partner of the SME Climate Hub, said, “Through this expansion, the SME Climate Hub will mobilize small and medium sized businesses in MENA to take climate action and help build more resilient companies and communities in the region. At COP28, the We Mean Business Coalition will host the Business Pavilion for Climate Leadership to ensure companies large and small are at the forefront of these crucial discussions in Dubai. We look forward to working with the COP28 Presidency and partners across business and government to drive the transformative change needed to tackle the climate crisis.” Following COP28, Masdar, with the support of First Abu Dhabi Bank, will lead recruitment of SMEs to the SME Climate Hub for MENA to ensure continued support for regional SMEs. Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, Chief Executive Officer of Masdar, said, “SMEs will play a vital role in ensuring that countries across the Middle East achieve their net zero targets. As the UAE’s global clean energy pioneer, Masdar is dedicated to accelerating the energy transition at home and abroad. We are proud to be partnered with the SME Climate Hub and committed to leveraging our resources and networks to support SMEs in the UAE and across the region to reduce emissions, for a cleaner and greener future for all.” Hana Al Rostamani, Group Chief Executive Officer of First Abu Dhabi Bank, said, “Integrating businesses into the net zero transition is fundamental to achieving global climate goals, and SMEs must be part of this effort. The COP28 and SME Climate Hub platform allows us to bring SMEs into the center of climate action and provides them with opportunities for growth in a low-carbon future.” For more information on the COP28 & SME Climate Hub for MENA and to make a climate commitment, please visit https://www.cop28.com/en/cop28-mena-sme-climate-hub COP28 will begin on 30 November in the UAE with a fortnight of negotiations, opening with commitments from global leaders, bringing forward solutions, and concluding with an agreed negotiated text that helps course-correct to keep 1.5°C within reach and enhance global resilience. The Presidency’s key focus areas are fast-tracking the energy transition and slashing emissions before 2030; transforming climate finance, by delivering on old promises and setting the framework for a new deal on finance; putting nature, people, lives and livelihoods at the heart of climate action and mobilizing for the most inclusive COP ever. END About COP28 UAE COP28 UAE will take place at Expo City Dubai from November 30-December 12, 2023.

Parkside has reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable operations following its successful pledge to the SME Climate Hub as part of the United Nation’s Race to Zero campaign. In June, the award-winning flexible packaging manufacturer completed its first public report, which came with an official badge, after initially pledging to the scheme last year. Pledging to the SME Climate Hub commitment guarantees a business is actively working to reduce its environmental impact through targeted strategies to lower both direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions up and down the value chain. In order to fulfill their pledge, businesses must take concrete steps to halve their emissions by 2030 and be Net Zero by 2050, in line with the UN’s recommended targets. "In order to publicly report Parkside’s emissions via the SME Climate Hub, a thorough analysis of the company’s daily operations, supply chains, and customer relationships is conducted. “Parkside has adapted its business operations to keep emissions to a minimum for example, holding virtual meetings where possible to reduce transport emissions, and strategically ordering materials to reduce the number of inbound deliveries it receives. “It also utilises waste materials for make-ready, reclaims the solvent it uses, and constantly innovates to provide new recyclable or compostable packaging solutions for its customers. “Sustainability is a process, not a destination, and so there is always more we can do,” added Sarah. “But this pledge proves we are prioritising sustainability and moving in the right direction. Parkside is proud to be a business set for the future.” https://bdaily.co.uk/articles/2023/07/10/parkside-achieves-sustainability-milestone-with-sme-climate-hub-pledge

By María Mendiluce, CEO We Mean Business Coalition and Johan Falk, CEO and Co-Founder Exponential Roadmap Initiative The challenge to keep global warming below 1.5°C is unprecedented in scale. However, the most recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) also left no doubt that feasible, effective, and low-cost options exist to deeply reduce emissions now. It’s essential that these solutions are scaled and rapidly. When we discuss scale, we cannot afford to ignore the millions of small and medium sized businesses - or SMEs - that drive global economies and create the fabric of local communities. Despite their low individual carbon footprints, SMEs make up 90% of business worldwide. They supply larger companies with products and resources, which makes SMEs crucial to the efforts of major corporations to slash their overall emissions. As the nimble start-ups and tech leaders, small businesses are also on the frontline of innovating and developing solutions that enable both large companies and consumers to cut down their emissions. To halve emissions by 2030, we need small and medium sized businesses on board. Measuring and reporting emissions is often the start of the journey for any company that aspires to be a leader on climate action. By evaluating their current emissions, companies can understand where they are causing the most harm, including hotspots like business travel, emissions from heating or electricity and those that arise from transport and shipping. Reporting is also one of the largest drivers towards action, as governments, investors and corporate customers move towards more stringent regulations and expectations. Earlier this year, the European Union released its Corporate and Social Responsibility Directive (CSRD), which introduced more detailed reporting requirements for EU companies and non-EU companies with substantial business in the region. The new ruling applies to approximately 50,000 companies, and although SMEs are allotted additional time to meet the directive, they are already coming under pressure through the corporations they supply. Larger corporations need to report on the emissions in their value chain, so companies are expected to ask their suppliers to comply with the regulation well before the law explicitly impacts SMEs. The United States is moving in a similar direction, with climate disclosure rules proposed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) expected to be finalized this year. As corporate customers face increasing scrutiny over their supply chain emissions, businesses of all sizes must become more transparent. SMEs cannot be left behind in the net zero transition, or they will face enormous risk in the long term. However, they also cannot be expected to meet this challenge alone. Governments, corporations and industry associations need to support them. SMEs usually lack the time, capacity and know how to engage with complex reporting forms and guidance. A recent survey from the SME Climate Hub found smaller businesses lacked the resources and knowledge to take climate action, with 61% reporting the need for additional tools to measure and monitor emissions. This week, the SME Climate Hub, an initiative aimed at small business mobilization, co-founded by the We Mean Business Coalition and the Exponential Roadmap Initiative, released a new reporting tool which seeks to address this challenge. Based on the simplified disclosure framework developed by CDP, the Exponential Roadmap Initiative and Normative, the tool has been specifically designed for SMEs and enables businesses to easily report annual greenhouse gas emissions, the actions they’ve taken to reduce emissions, and the impact of their efforts. By making it easier for SMEs to measure and report emissions, millions more businesses can start their journey to net zero and bring much needed transparency to global supply chains and networks. There are no longer excuses for businesses of any size to avoid emissions accounting. Corporations should reward their suppliers for taking action and incentivize others to follow suit. Banks and investors should assess climate performance and link lending conditions and investments to these measures. With the ecosystem’s collective support, small and medium sized businesses will be able to stand up and take action. There is no more time to waste in the global effort to tackle climate change. It’s time to get started.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of communities and economies around the world. They make up 90% of business globally, employ 70% of the world’s workforce and contribute over 50% of global GDP. However, despite their collective impact, small businesses are often amongst the most vulnerable to change and disruption. Rising global temperatures and weather-related disasters compound risks for businesses of all sizes. Yet, they particularly impact SMEs given their localized supply chains, centralized infrastructure, and dependence on the communities in which they operate. At the same time, SMEs have been the least equipped to mitigate their role in the climate crisis. Small businesses are facing greater risk while also potentially missing out on the benefits of building more resilient businesses and cutting costs. The SME Climate Hub annual survey hopes to bridge this gap — helping the initiative, the We Mean Business Coalition and the broader climate and business communities understand where small business currently stands on their climate action journey. That includes the barriers that are holding up progress and the drivers that are keeping SMEs on track to cut emissions in half by 2030. It’s clear that SMEs have the will to create a better future for their business and for the planet, but reaching these goals isn’t easy. The SME Climate Hub is here to help drive progress and scale solutions Though any one company’s impact may seem small, together small businesses are essential in driving change. Thank you to the SME leaders and all those who are passionately advocating climate action within small businesses. For those just embarking on their climate action journey, there is no better time than today to join the thousands of companies from over 100 countries in making the SME Climate Commitment. Together small businesses will transform the world. Download the full report.

Taking Small Business Climate Action with the SME Climate Hub - FREE WEBINAR Small Business Saturday is a time to celebrate and support small businesses and all they do for their communities. This year, we know that small businesses need our support more than ever as they navigate, retool and pivot from the effects of the pandemic, while facing increasing inflation and energy costs. With hundreds of competing demands, small businesses are likely to deprioritize climate action. However, this only continues the cycle of instability. Climate resilient businesses can benefit from reduced costs, increased access to capital, unique growth opportunities, and lower business risks — it's in their best interest to take action. The SME Climate Hub supports the small businesses that make up our communities by helping them take climate action and build companies that can better weather future storms. On November 30, 2022 at 11a ET / 4p GMT, we invite small businesses to learn from industry experts and their peers about: - Their role in combatting climate change - The business benefits of taking action - The tools provided by the SME Climate Hub to help reach their goals. Audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions about the initiative and hear from small businesses that have made changes to reduce their emissions. The webinar is free to attend. Please register for the event in advance – we look forward to seeing you there.

The SME Climate Hub is launching a campaign to support small businesses in the United States to thrive and survive as the impacts of the global climate crisis increase. On September 22nd the SME Climate Hub and America Is All In will unite leaders across businesses, government, and civil society at the Javits Center in New York City to launch the campaign which aims to help small and medium-sized businesses take climate action. We are partnering with America Is All In to help U.S. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play their vital role in addressing the climate crisis while saving money, understanding how to navigate volatile markets, changing consumer demand, and policy regulations. We provide a platform that supports companies with less than 500 employees in setting and meeting 1.5°C aligned emission reduction targets. Any SME can join the hub by committing to halving their emissions by 2030, and going net zero by 2050 or sooner. Once the commitment is made, the company gets access to tools, guides and advice in everything from measuring and reporting emissions, to direct emission reduction practices, to finding financial support for emission reductions. Everything is made available, for free, through the SME Climate Hub platform. If American SMEs are supported to take climate action, they will not only experience business benefits, but will also build resilience in the US economy and make a significant impact on reaching the nation’s climate goals. There are an estimated 30 million SMEs in the US (according to the United States Census Bureau) that account for nearly half of all private sector employment in the US. Moreover, SMEs are responsible for two of every three jobs created over the past 25 years, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Given how important SMEs are to the U.S. economy, robust participation by American SMEs in transitioning to a low carbon economy is vital to ensure they are set up to survive and thrive as we work towards our climate goals. The US launch of the SME Climate Hub is a free, in-person event, kicking off at 9:50am ET on 22 September at Climate Week NYC. Attendees can find out about new regional and national collaborations and discuss the importance of climate action by small businesses. We invite you to join us at the Javits Center in New York City for inspiration about how large corporations can help SMEs, what tools an SME can get to accelerate their climate action and the cost and profit benefits they can experience, and what governments can do to assist SMEs across the globe.

The results of studies on the chemical composition of sapropels deposits , their physical and chemical processing and use processed products in various sectors of the economy are presented. Introduction. Sapropels - bottom sediments of freshwater bodies - are valuable organic and organomineral raw materials for various sectors of the economy. Objects and methods. Sapropels 17 were used as objects of study lakes of Znamensky, Tarsky, Tyukalinsky and Sargatsky regions of the Omsk region. A scheme for processing sapropels is proposed, which includes extraction at the first stages sapropels with organic solvents or those in supercritical state (e.g. carbon dioxide), and further thermal processing or catalytic thermal dissolution. A complex of chemical and physico-chemical (gas and liquid chromato-mass, IR, NMR and electron spectroscopy, electron microscopy, EDS and XRD methods, porosimetry and adsorption methods, etc.) the methods of analysis studied organic and mineral sapropel native material as well as liquid, solid and gaseous products of sapropel processing. Results of research and discussion. The chemical composition and properties of native sapropels. The studied sapropel contain from 8.5 to 84.0 (in wt.%) Organic matter (OM). The organic matter of the studied sapropels has the following elemental composition (in% of the mass, on dry matter): carbon - 41.8-53.8; hydrogen 5.4-7.6; oxygen - 18.6-37.4; nitrogen - 4.8-24.1; sulfur - 0.7-2.5. Sapropels are low in carbon and high in nitrogen. OM contains the following groups of substances (in mass%): bitumen - 2.1-4.4; humic substances - 40.1-47.0; easily hydrolyzable - 23.9-31.2; hardly hydrolyzable - 5.7-8.7; non-hydrolyzable residue is 10.8-19.0. In native sapropels, up to 17-20 amino acids were found with a total content of 3.22-8.27 g / kg OB- The studied sapropels are of a siliceous type, the content of macronutrients in the mineral component is (in% wt.); silicon oxide - 51.3-67.3; calcium oxide - 1.4-15.0; iron oxide (Fe2 +) - 0.8-3.3; total (pentoxide) phosphorus - 0.04-0.68. In addition to these macronutrients, the following trace elements (mg / kg) were found in the mineral part: manganese (117-873), chromium (4.03-39.8), nickel (9.36-25.6), zinc (23.4 - 75.4), cadmium (0.20-0.82), molybdenum (0.29-1.37), cobalt (3.52-13.1), copper (8.36-18.7). Trace amounts of selenium, tin, strontium, yttrium, rubidium, titanium, bromine, chlorine, cesium, beryllium, scandium, lead, tungsten. The chemical composition and properties of sapropel processed products. The yield of lipophilic (LP) and water-soluble substances (WSS) during the extraction of sapropels of Lake Zhiloy Ryam with liquid carbon dioxide in the temperature range of 20, 25 ° C and a pressure of 80-200 atm is 1.6-2.0% and 0.1-2, 2% for OM, respectively. Analysis of the water-soluble part of the extract showed the presence of amino acids 0.06-1.2 mg / kg of OM, in the lipophilic part of 15.64-435 mg / kg of OM. WSS identified 14 amino acids with up to 14.2% of the total organic matter content in WSS. The content of vitamin E in WSS reaches 129.42 mg / kg OM, and vitamin B3 - 2.77 mg / kg OM. Enzymes (creatinine, superoxide dismutase, alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, laninaminotransferase, creatinine kinase MV, α-amylase, lactate dehydrogenase, gamma-glutamyltransferase, glutatide triperoxide, and glutathione phosphide are also found in SKE products. The total content of biologically active substances in water-soluble extracts is 43.45 mg / l. It was found that preliminary extraction of sapropels with supercritical carbon dioxide leads to an intensification of their further thermal processes. In the process of thermal processing, the yield of liquid products from extracted sapropels reaches 80% of the mass, on OM, while for native sapropels the yield does not exceed 32%. The liquid products obtained by thermal processing of the extracted are mainly tetrahydronaphthalene (cis- and trans-), saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons C12-C24, while the liquid products of thermal processing of native sapropels contain mainly phenol and its derivatives, nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds. When thermal dissolution of native and extracted sapropels in a medium of proton donor solvents, the maximum yield of liquid products for extracted sapropels is achieved at lower temperatures. With an increase in the process temperature, the content of heavy polyaromatic compounds and their alkyl and oxygen substituted in liquid products increases. Organic hydrophobic broad-porous materials with a specific surface area of up to 6 m2 / g and a total pore volume of up to 0.36 cm3 / g were synthesized and studied. These materials are promising for the production of oil sorbents - for the collection of oil and water-insoluble oil products and organic substances from the surface of water and reservoirs, as well as any solid surface. Oil sorbents have an oilcapacity of up to 2.5-6.0 g of oil / g of sorbent) with a moisture capacity of 1.0-1.5 g of water / g of sorbent, buoyancy of at least 72 hours. As a result of heat treatment of sapropels, solid porous carbon-containing products with a specific surface area of up to 200 m2 / g, a total pore volume of up to 0.24-0.91 cm3 / g and a predominant pore radius of 2000-10000 A were obtained. Further steam-air activation allows increasing the total pore volume up to 1.40 cm3 / g. Porous carbon-containing materials from sapropel are promising as sorbents in the water treatment of drinking water, for the purification of natural, technological, and domestic wastewater from water-soluble contaminants with organic substances and oil products, the rehabilitation of soils, catalyst supports, and in a number of other sorption and catalytic processes. It has been established that the main components of the gases of thermal destruction of the organic matter of sapropels are: % vol. СО (4.4-10.7%), CO2 (49.8-93.1%), СH4 (4.1-10.8%), H2S (2.5-5.3%), Н2 ( 1.8-12.6%). With an increase in the process temperature, the CO2 content decreases and the content of the remaining gases CO, CH4, H2S, and H2 increases. At a process temperature of 500 ° C, additional components were found in gas products: C2H4, C2H6, C3H8, C3H6, C4H10, etc. The estimated calorific value of gases is 1700-10800 kJ / kg. The use of sapropels and processed products. The study of the effectiveness of using natural sapropel as fertilizers in the subtaiga and southern forest-steppe zones of the Omsk Region showed (Siberian Scientific Research Institute of Agricultural Sciences) that the use of sapropels makes it possible to improve the application of fertilizers for crops for various soil and climatic conditions of the Omsk Region and to increase soil fertility and crop productivity by 10-15% [6]. Sapropel is used as a feed additive in the diets of cattle, pigs and poultry. The use of sapropel in the diets of feeding gilts for fattening has a beneficial effect on increasing productivity, as well as the quality of meat and fat . The introduction of sapropel in the diet of laying hens contributed to an increase in safety, an improvement in the quality of eggs, saving feed and reducing their cost. With the introduction of the same sapropel in the diet of broiler chickens with free access to feed in the amount of 10 and 15%, their viability improves by 2.0-2.6%. In the groups receiving sapropel, the live weight of broilers for all age periods was higher, and the average daily gain in live weight in the experimental groups was 1.9-2.2 g higher compared to the control. The introduction of sapropel propylene glycol extract in the diet of meat breeds of chickens contributed to an increase in the growth rate of chickens by 5.6-10.0% and a decrease in feed costs per 1 kg of live weight gain by 6.0-8.5%. The efficiency of broiler meat production using sapropel extract is higher by 14.3-17.0% compared to the control. The use of sapropel and products of its processing in veterinary medicine made it possible to create products with pronounced antioxidant, antiseptic, antiprotozoal, ascaricidal, repellent, stimulating and antitoxic properties. So, for example, on the basis of sapropel tar experimental samples of medicines have been created. Tar ointment is used to treat animals with skin disease of bacterial and tick-borne origin. An emulsion of sapropel tar in various formulations has a therapeutic effect in postpartum endometritis, external purulent-necrotic processes, and also provides a repellent effect.

Hi there, I’m part of Your Arbor, a Calgarian company that is focusing on helping consumers align their spending habits with their values. We’ve found that there are usually 2 obstacles to shopping more ethically: knowledge, and price/convenience. There is so much Greenwashing going around, we wanted to solve this once and for all. We are aiming to tackle both of these problems this holiday season. We built a browser extension/platform that gives you sustainability and community impact information and better alternatives while you browse (covers 90% of global market spent) Download for free: yourarbor.com/download We love all feedback and feature requests :). This season be sure to support the good companies! If you are a local/sustainable company(OR have one in mind) you can get featured for FREE* on our marketplace(https://www.yourarbor.com/marketplace) by filling out this form: https://www.yourarbor.com/add-company
