Abstract

This Race to Zero White Paper explores the nexus between SME interests, public funding and regional support for smaller firms that are pursuing the journey towards Net Zero. In the final section it sets out a series of recommendations for funders, policy makers and programme designers of enterprise support aimed at helping smaller businesses achieve national Net Zero emissions targets. It is based on contributions from 27 delegates attending the Developing World Class Net Zero Support in the West Midlands conference hosted by the University of Derby Sustainable Business Research Group in Birmingham in June 2023.
