BBPA responds to Net Zero Review

Responding to the independent Net Zero Review published by the Rt Hon Christ Skidmore MP today, Emma McClarkin, Chief Executive of the British Beer and Pub Association, said: 

“The independent Net Zero Review published by the Rt Hon Christ Skidmore MP today highlighted key areas where action is required on net zero. The review broadly aligns with the view and steps taken to date by the pub and brewing sector who are determined to play their part in making Britain a world leader for environmental sustainability and are already innovating within their businesses to become greener. 

“It is evident the sector needs additional financial incentives from government to aid its transition to net zero, and we would the urge the Government to be mindful of placing any more complex regulatory frameworks upon businesses which will hinder their ability to flexibly deliver on net-zero ambitions.”
