We presented new research undertaken for the Climate Change Committee, giving detailed insight into SME owners and managers’ views on decarbonisation at a time when small businesses are facing multiple economic challenges.
We discussed the UK government policy framework and provided an opportunity to learn from what other countries in Europe and the UK are doing, including the Business Energy Scotland support programme.
