44% of UK Firms Have Structured Decarbonisation Plans

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.
