Why net zero is important for small businesses
The UK government is committed to reaching net zero emissions by 2050. There is a growing expectation that customers and government regulations will require you to reduce your carbon footprint. Small businesses in every sector can play a vital role.
By switching to renewable energy or using electric vehicles you can cut your emissions and save money on energy and fuel. By tracking and sharing progress you can attract investors, customers and employees who value climate action.
