In 2019 the UK Parliament passed legislation that committed the country to reduce its net emissions by 100% by 2050. The UK was the first major economy to commit to net zero emissions, kickstarting a global sustainability effort.
As one of the UK's 6 million SMEs, you're central to the UK's carbon reduction programme. However, as an SME, you’ll know that your focus lies on the day-to-day challenges of running a business, and it’s sometimes difficult to know where to begin on the pathway to net zero. Moreover, you’ll know that with fewer employees and resources, you’re less likely than larger organisations to have the in-house sustainability expertise to tackle your carbon footprint. That’s where this Solution Pack can help.
This solution pack is intended to help you embark on that journey, with key information that helps you implement best practice by providing a framework for improvement around the key areas of:
- energy management
- environmental management
- greenhouse gases
It’s high-level and introductory in nature and helps you work to embed the systems and processes necessary to begin your journey to net zero. Plus it comes with guidance, implementation tools and self-assessment questionnaires to help guide and inform its use.
