How to close the UK SME climate data gap
Sustainability and ESG (environmental, social and governance) are initiatives that have emerged as a critical concern in business in response to the increasingly evident risks from climate change. The urgency to calculate and track emissions has never been greater, however, the existing data gap poses significant challenges, hindering progress towards vital Net Zero goals.
Join us as we explore the path to closing the SME climate data gap and work towards sustainability, acknowledging that this challenge is not merely a data exercise but a crucial component in the greater mission to combat climate change. By attending, you will gain:
- A clear view of the macroeconomic situation and its immediate and longer-term impact on the health of UK businesses.
- How different sectors across UK businesses are experiencing the transition to a low carbon economy and the options for building a complete view of the climate profile of a portfolio of SME customer or suppliers.
- Advanced insight to help you optimise your commercial lending & sustainability strategy and grow your business to ensure responsible business practices.
