UK businesses have been on a net zero countdown ever since the UK Government set a legally binding target to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Last year, it set up the Net Zero Council to ensure the industry remains on track to cut its emissions, develop greener practices and ensure that every sector is on track to be net zero by this date. 

To help manufacturers meet these targets and ambitions, Make UK, in partnership with Inspired PLC, has developed this guide, Making it to Net Zero, with the aim to provide a clear roadmap to help our sector reach net zero. 

In line with the wider industry’s own set of commitments, these easy-to-follow steps will take companies through the complexities of Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and advise on what they can do to reduce emissions across all three.  

Setting targets is key and then creating a manageable strategy to deliver them is the first step. While there is also plenty of financial assistance out there in the shape of grants and funds to help lighten the load, along with advice from partners like Inspired PLC along the way. 

Manufacturers are embracing the opportunities from transitioning to a net zero economy and are working hard to create the technologies of tomorrow which will further reduce the UK’s harmful carbon emissions. With our guidance, your firm too can get there before 2050 and reap significant energy savings along the way.
