CBI responds to BEIS FTSE announcement on eliminating contribution to carbon by 2050

Tony Danker, CBI Director General, said:
“Now more than ever we need businesses big and small stepping-up to realise our global ambition of a Net Zero world.

“Only by committing to serious and lasting action can firms shoulder their responsibility to reverse climate change and keep the 1.5c target alive.

“Today's landmark announcement – which sees over half of FTSE100 companies commit to eliminating their contribution to carbon emissions by 2050 – sends a crystal-clear signal: business is ready to do its part.”
