What is Net Zero?

In June 2019, the UK parliament passed legislation requiring the government to reduce the UK’s net emissions of greenhouse gases to Net Zero by 2050. Achieving Net Zero is done by creating an overall balance between emissions produced and emissions taken out of the atmosphere.

Like a bath with the taps on, balance between emissions can be achieved by turning down the taps (reducing emissions) or taking the plug out to release some water (removal of emissions from the atmosphere). The key to achieving Net Zero for your business is understanding where you can turn the taps down and where you need to release some water.
