Green growth plan for British business published

05.08.11

The UK Government has published a planning document in response to questions from British businesses that are unsure about what the UK’s carbon reduction commitment (CRC) will mean for them.

‘Enabling the transition to a green economy: Government and Businesses working together’ looks ahead to 2020, which is the government’s first CRC deadline, and shows the government’s vision for how the 20% reduction in emissions is to be achieved.

Publishing the document, Environment Secretary, Caroline Spelman, said:

“The government’s objective of reducing the deficit and strengthening the economy goes hand in hand with our ambition to be the greenest government ever.

“Moving to a green economy presents huge opportunities for British businesses not only to reduce their environmental impact, but also to transform products and services, develop cleaner technologies, and capture new international markets.”
