Context:

In May 2021, the UK government called on every small business in the UK to take small, practical steps to cut their emissions as part of the UK’s journey to net zero by 2050, in the run up to UN Climate Summit COP26 in Glasgow this November. As well as a drive to cut emissions by large business and sector specific industries, small and micro businesses are encouraged to cut their emissions in half by 2030 and to net zero by 2050 or sooner.

This session coincides with the UK's hosting of COP26 and provides Board and NED perspectives on some of the challenges and good practices emerging in terms of Net Zero.
