A new poll by Aviva has found that nearly half of UK businesses have structured plans in place for reducing carbon emissions.
This figure shows a 10% increase compared with 2022 - showing significant progress is being made.
The survey of more than 250 businesses, also found that:
- 66% of organisations are concerned about the impact climate change will have on their business.
- 45% of businesses feel pressured by consumers to act on climate change
- 39% of organisations are acting on climate change due to pressure from other businesses.
Worryingly, Aviva also found that 42% of businesses have paused investment in decarbonisation, with 56% believing carbon reduction is unaffordable.
