Description
Join this exclusive event in collaboration with the Scottish Business Climate Collaboration Hub to learn more about the opportunities and the challenges in carbon reduction and how to start planning.
With the aim of de-carbonising all sectors of the UK economy by 2050, the Government published its “Net Zero Strategy: Build Back Greener” setting the policies and proposals to meet that target.
Like the UK, many countries across the globe have been pushing for more and more measures and carbon reduction requirements for businesses selling overseas to comply and support their wider efforts for achieving their net zero targets. That is why it is absolutely crucial to stay ahead of the curve and ensure that your business becomes ready for these changes by understanding the options you have in reducing your carbon footprint.
