The report draws on research by YouGov, of 627 private sector senior management leaders to show that private sector organisations in the UK are preparing for a significant shift in how they do business driven by the carbon agenda.
Survey highlights:
- 58% of private sector leaders in the UK believe that climate change will force changes to their business model.
- 69% of leaders would use sustainability as a factor in accepting a new role, and 21% would only work for a business that is committed to being sustainable….
- However, only 36% of organisations have a carbon reduction strategy in place to address the carbon emissions of their property and estate portfolio.
- And nearly in 1 in 4 companies believe that recent global climate conference COP26 will not have any long-term impact on how they do business.
The report shows a significant shift in learning and action….
However, despite the commitments, 29% of companies around the world are still trying to work out how to identify and record any savings from carbon reduction initiatives.
‘Industry must be prepared to work together to deliver a sustainable future’
Mark Reynolds, Mace’s group CEO, said: “Our research shows that although companies across the globe are responding quickly to climate change, there is still a huge amount to do….
“….As an industry we must be prepared to work together to deliver a sustainable future.”
