Beyond unites corporate buyers, NGOs, and independent experts to accelerate market-based climate investments. Today.
Founded in 2020 and hosted by the We Mean Business Coalition, we are an independent platform that helps companies move from climate commitment to climate action, investing in the highest-impact opportunities available.
Our Team
How We Work
We connect leaders for trusted and candid peer exchange, building a network of independent organizations all navigating the same challenges.
We equip companies through bootcamps, working groups, training and shared tools so they can invest with confidence.
We help shape the voluntary standards and policies that move market-based climate investment forward.
We play a distinct role in corporate climate finance.
Our focus: helping companies invest in market-based solutions, both within and beyond their value chains. We specialize in high-impact VCM, next-generation Scope 3 opportunities—and the policy frameworks that underpin them—working alongside existing buyer coalitions and platforms rather than duplicating them.
Beyond helps companies move confidently through a complex climate finance landscape, creating the enabling conditions to go further, faster.
Structure
Beyond is housed within We Mean Business Coalition and operates as an independent platform with its own secretariat and governance structure. It is overseen by a Leadership Council of members and partners.
Members include leading companies from across sectors. Partners bring independent expertise from civil society and the scientific community. Together, they shape Beyond's direction, programs, and priorities.
Beyond also plays an integral role in supporting We Mean Business Coalition's broader work to advance business and policy action on climate, building on its longstanding efforts to strengthen corporate capacity and confidence in carbon markets.
