In this episode, Business News Wales spoke to Dr. Karolina Rucinska, Sustainability Advisor at Cynnal Cymru | Sustain Wales. A charity that aims to brings sustainable development to the world of work, within the public and private sectors. Karolina shares her insight into questions asked by SMEs around the how and why they should start there net zero journey. Talking strategy and reasons behind the reason to be net zero, Dr. Karolina Rucinska breaks down the help that is out there for SME’s to understand their carbon footprint and starting to look at their decarbonisation plan.
With SMEs playing a critical part in the British economy, especially across Wales, it is estimated that half of the UKs carbon reduction can be delivered by the SME sector, which should see them at the centre of the UKs net zero ambition.
