It’s a reminder that businesses cannot rely solely on government support. The path to net zero requires proactive action from businesses themselves. This must include leveraging innovative energy procurement strategies to reduce carbon footprints.”
I work with businesses that have shown more leadership on sustainability than any MP or party. Labour have missed an opportunity to align themselves with true innovators and leaders in the private sector, highlighting their short-sighted approach to growth.”
Modern financial modelling tools help businesses understand the financial impacts of sustainability initiatives. This data-driven approach ensures that sustainability strategies resonate with environmentally conscious investors, even when power prices are volatile.

As the landscape of green policy continues to evolve, businesses must remain agile and strategic in their approach to sustainability, ensuring they play a pivotal role in driving the transition to a greener future.”
