“SMEs contribute 44% of the UK’s private sector greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, yet nine out of 10 don’t fully understand what the Government’s target of making the UK Net Zero by 2050 means for them and just one in ten businesses are measuring their carbon footprint.” Our SME group at WMG delivers the Net Zero Innovation Network (NZIN) programme for SMEs to help them realise the opportunities that are available by working towards Net Zero targets. Collaboration amongst each cohort of SMEs has proven effective to help solve their sustainability goals, deliver big energy savings as well as increase profitability. We are recruiting for the next cohort now.

The Channel 4 programme “Skint” - presented by the economist Tim Harford explained in simple terms how GDP had fallen below its historic trajectory- and a major reason for this was a lack of investment by business to improve productivity- but for business to succeed- investment is needed in our roads/ green transport/ electricity grid etc - but most importantly- the need to build more affordable homes for where the economic growth opportunities are expected- it’s a no brainer - the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations , Homes for Scotland , CIH Scotland Shelter Scotland and Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) have all been saying this for years!!!! So if we want a just economic transition- we need our politicians to prioritise a long term investment programme in our infrastructure and build more homes - otherwise businesses will invest elsewhere in the world .
