As The UK Government Pulls Back From Net Zero, Why Attending EMEX 2023 Is Vital

Anyone who has been keeping up with developments from Westminster around the government's seeming backtrack on their commitment to net zero, cannot be anything but dismayed. Recent Government announcements give the impression that Climate Change is a woke issue responsible for the cost of living and housing crisis. Is it cynical to suggest that Rishi Sunak saw the single‑issue campaign around the expansion of ULEZ, leading to an unexpected by‑election win in Uxbridge, as an electoral lifeline for the upcoming election?

Businesses of all sizes have been thrown by the Government’s sudden pullback on net zero issues, from electric vehicles to heat pumps, and new oil and gas licenses amongst them. But the reality is, we all know that driving towards Net Zero targets is simply common sense, and good energy management makes for good business decisions.

More and more large companies are driving for Net Zero way ahead of 2050 and recording their efforts through the Science Based Targets initiatives, for example. And in turn, these companies are demanding greater sustainability and visible carbon reductions from their suppliers and partners.

EMEX is the largest gathering of like‑minded professionals who, despite potential setbacks in the wider political landscape, are committed to driving towards a carbon‑neutral future. As usual I will be heading a Peers Panel on the politics of Climate Change and this year, more than ever, there will be a lot to get our teeth into!

Whatever size company you are, and whether your job title is energy manager or sustainability manager in a large multi‑national, or CFO, MD or procurement manager in an SME, all aspects of your company’s activities will be affected by legislation and compliance around net zero, and increasingly by customer expectations and commercial requirements.
