Industry takes leading role in charge to Net Zero target
Almost two thirds of UK manufacturers have taken positive action towards their Net Zero target in the past 12 months, new research from Make UK has found.

The research - ‘COP26 6 Months On’ – shows that over a third (35 per cent) of businesses already have a fully formed Net Zero strategy in place and have started to implement it, whilst 14 per cent have defined their Net Zero strategy but not set it in motion. Over a third of companies said that achieving Net Zero is high priority for their business.
Despite the challenges of navigating Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic, plus ongoing inflationary pressures, manufacturers have realised the importance of Net Zero and the benefits a green economy can bring to their business.
In a statement, Stephen Phipson, CEO of Make UK, said: “Britain’s manufacturers have long shown that they are at the forefront of innovation globally and they have already gone a long way to improve their processes in the quest to reach Net Zero. They are making huge leaps forward and have taken much from initiatives such as COP26 as a driver for further change.”
