Businesses urged to commit to net-zero emissions or risk being left behind

Businesses must commit to tackling climate change and those that do not move fast enough are in danger of being left behind, a senior Government minister has warned.

Cop26 president designate Alok Sharma said that, while the Government is determined to “build back greener” in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, it needs the support of business to do so.

He urged firms to commit to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 at the latest.
