Our partnership with JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Our programme supported by JPMorgan Chase & Co. launched in September 2022 and aims to support 300 micro and small businesses across Germany, France, South Africa, Spain and the UK to become more sustainable and environmentally conscious in their operations. The programme will run until the end of 2024 and will target traditionally underserved entrepreneurs, including young people, women, Black and Minoritised ethnicities, migrants, and people with low income.

In the first phase of the programme, we are working with our members KIZ in Germany, Hatch in the UK, Positive Planet in France, Youth Business Spain and our delivery partner Fetola in South Africa. YBI’s Social and Green Entrepreneurship Lead will work alongside a sustainability expert to co-develop a sustainability toolkit with our members and delivery partner, which will be piloted and then scaled to 10 additional entrepreneurship support organisations (ESOs) across the five countries. In addition, YBI will support all 15 ESOs to incorporate decent work training, adapted to their country context, into their support offerings for underserved and young entrepreneurs to empower them to become responsible employers.
