Next government must lead small business green growth

Small Business Britain is calling for greater political leadership to inspire a wave of ‘green growth’ and help the UK get to Net Zero.

Data from the report – which included a major survey of over 2000 business owners in April 2024 that was analysed by Oxford Brookes Business School - found that only 10% of small business sustainability efforts are influenced by Government policy, with personal values, customer pressure and supply chain requirements having a far greater impact.

“There is a clear opportunity for the next government to take the lead in driving a positive shift towards greener growth - through greater clarity, connection, and engagement with small businesses. Not only can small firms make a major impact on reducing emissions, but entrepreneurs have a hugely exciting role to play in driving sustainable innovations.”

While many small business owners want to do the right thing and go green, we need more support. I've spent time learning and building my knowledge and realised that even small changes could make a significant difference. However, like many business owners, I'd like to see more support from the government and others on this road in the long term, particularly when it comes to finance, to make the necessary transitions.
