📣 The ClimateTech Policy Coalition has launched their third annual report, including fresh insights from the frontline of climate innovation, along with priority areas for Government support. 🗺️ Focused on innovating to combat climate change *and* the constraints on the Govt, the report is rounded off with a refreshed blueprint of steps that the Govt can take to unlock climate innovation, building on its political priorities. 👍 Most surveyed Climate founders (38) thought that Labour’s election victory was a good thing for their business - with only a handful (5) saying it was bad. 👎 Only 11 founders said that the first five months of the new Govt had been good for their business, with 14 saying that it had actually been negative for them. 📢 ClimateTech founders want the Government to focus on ensuring that innovation is built into its priorities, including GB Energy and the Industrial Strategy. 🎆 2025 gives us the opportunity to refocus on action. There is a general sense of consultation overload - ClimateTech founders sorely need action at the end of the questions. Read the full report 👉🏼 https://lnkd.in/eJfEmicJ The Coalition is formed of Tech Zero, techUK, Tech Nation, Cleantech for UK, and Undaunted: Tackling climate change with innovation.

It's here - the Tech Zero Report 2024: The Tech Sector’s Road to Net Zero 🌍 This report describes in plain english where the tech industry is on the road to net zero, where we need to be, how we can get there, and who can help. It includes: 🛣️ An analysis of where the tech industry and Tech Zero members are on the road to net zero 🥇 Behind-the-scenes member case studies with the likes of Bloom & Wild, Depop, and Metrikus 🚀 Exclusive interviews with sustainability leaders at Big Tech firms Google, Uber, Microsoft, Vodafone, BT Group and HP 🏃🏽♀️➡️ A comprehensive, actionable guide on how to reduce your company’s carbon emissions, starting today Download the report 👉 https://lnkd.in/eCQxXShX Tech Zero is the climate action group for the tech industry, powered by Tech Nation and Octopus Energy. Today, Tech Zero boasts 350+ members across 33 countries, including unicorns like Monzo, Skyscanner, and Wise. From our report, we also found that: 👉 Over a third of Tech Zero members have published a net zero report and taken action to reduce their emissions, outperforming comparable schemes which track at less than 10%. 👉 24% of these companies have reduced their emissions since 2021, bucking wider industry trends. 👉 92% are open to collaborating with competitors, if this will help them to reduce carbon emissions.
