Carbon Emissions: Small Businesses
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to help them transition to net zero.
- Answer
-
Over 3,700 UK small businesses have joined the UN’s Race to Zero initiative, accounting for 70% of the current global total. This is in addition to two thirds of the FTSE 100.
The Government supports SMEs by promoting the UK Business Climate Hub, which is embedded on the SME Climate Hub, and forms part of the global Race to Zero campaign. Here businesses can access a suite of tools for measuring, reducing and reporting on their emissions. These include a carbon calculator tool developed by Google.org and Normative, and the Climate Fit modular education course.
