Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps his Department is taking to help small and medium businesses reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

The Government continues to support UK businesses in meeting their net zero commitments. The former Net Zero Business Champion, Andrew Griffith MP, led the Race to Zero campaign targeting small and medium businesses, which boasts 2,604 participants to date. The Government has also improved support access via the small business campaign. All businesses that have made the small business climate commitment receive monthly communications from the Department, which signpost the latest policy and regulatory changes in addition to the “Together For Our Planet” digital toolkit.
