Your sustainability transition to Net Zero
Transitioning to Net Zero
The journey to Net Zero is a long one. Stretching years or decades into the future, the transition of our economy to a sustainable footing will be the most momentous change in business and industry of our generation.
Achieving Net Zero offers opportunities for investment, innovation, job creation and earnings. Two-thirds of SMEs view the move to a green economy, not just as a challenge to be met, but as a positive opportunity for growth.
From Now to Net Zero: a Practical Guide for SMEs
To deepen our understanding of how we can best support you on your journey to Net Zero, we've surveyed more than 1,000 SME businesses, undertaken in-depth interviews and focus groups with expert commentary, and held follow-up conversations with our customers about where they are on their journey, and what Net Zero means for them.
Climate Call to Action: Research Report
Following an in-depth survey of over 1,000 UK businesses, 96% of which were SMEs, we launched a new report in partnership with the British Chambers of Commerce. It reveals the challenges facing SMEs on their journey to Net Zero and outlines recommendations for key stakeholders that have a role to play in supporting SMEs.
