Britain’s manufacturers are leading the charge towards Net Zero as the sector makes a huge leap forward from just 18 months ago when very few companies had a specific Net Zero strategy in place. The positive influences of COP26 and increased practical help in implementing positive green strategies in the workplace has turbocharged industry in the Race to Zero.
According to new research published today by Make UK, almost two thirds (65%) of manufacturers have taken positive action towards their Net Zero target in the past 12 months, while 35% of businesses already have a fully formed Net Zero strategy in place and have started to implement it. The research – ‘COP26 6 Months On’ – shows that a further 14% have set their Net Zero strategy but have not quite set it in motion and over a third of companies said that achieving Net Zero is high priority for their business.
