Powering a Greener Britain
The UK has set an ambitious climate target. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are not just part of the plan—they are essential to achieving it.
The UK's 2035 Climate Commitment
The government has legally committed to slashing greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 levels. This is one of the most ambitious targets in the world.
Reduction in Emissions by 2035
The Journey to Net Zero
While the UK has made significant progress since 1990, the rate of reduction needs to accelerate dramatically to meet the 2035 target.
Emissions by Sector
Meeting the target requires a collective effort, with major transformations needed across the economy's highest-emitting sectors.
SMEs: The Engine of the UK Economy
SMEs aren't just small businesses; they are the backbone of our economy. Their collective action on sustainability is not just beneficial—it's critical.
