Emission reduction targets are set, roadmaps are in place, but the path to achieving Net Zero remains an uphill battle for many organisations. Help us uncover the challenges and breakthroughs that define this journey. Participate in our anonymous survey to shed light on: • The barriers organisations face in reaching their emission reduction goals • Progress checks on the path to Net Zero • Strategies used to bridge the gap between targets and emissions reduction Once the survey is closed, we will share an aggregated summary of our findings. #PartnersinPerformance #EmissionReduction #Survey #NetZero

Let's share knowledge and examples to accelerate the transition together 💡

Working towards the transition to net zero must be a business-wide priority. Yet, despite SMEs accounting for 99.9% of the current UK business population, there is little-to-no regulation which requires SMEs to work towards net zero attainment. Nor is there sufficient support to help SMEs overcome barriers to this transition, such as complexities in measuring emissions and capital constraints.   I am currently collecting data to support my undergraduate dissertation which explores the role of SMEs in the transition to net zero, the challenges they face, and SME attitudes. It will also assess the effectiveness of current and the trajectory of future regulation in supporting this transition.   If you work for a UK SME, I would be very grateful if you could please take 5 minutes of your time to fill out this questionnaire using the representative views of your organisation (with permission) - https://lnkd.in/e-ZAbxDu.   Following this, I may get in contact to briefly discuss answers in further detail.   Alternatively, if you have specific insight into this area, such as from a consulting perspective, it would be amazing if you could please get in touch. Additionally, if you could please help share this questionnaire, I would be very grateful.   Thank you in advance!

Are current education systems ready to address green digital transitions? The sustainability transition requires unprecedented investments. The European Commission launches strategic foresight report to help prioritise future policies. The report states that current education systems are not ready to address these green digital challenges, and analyses how to put sustainability and people's wellbeing at the heart of these policies and suggests concrete actions to achieve this aim. Contact us to learn how we can support your institution to navigate these transitions!. The EU is engaged in a transition to achieve climate neutrality and sustainability. This transition will be key to strengthen its long-term competitiveness, uphold its social market economy model and consolidate its global leadership in the new net-zero economy. To succeed, the EU needs to address several challenges and make choices that will affect societies and economies at an unprecedented pace and scale.
