This report from UK think tank City-REDI highlights effective practices for supporting businesses and accelerating system-wide sustainability transitions.
This policy brief synthesises research on Net Zero business support within the UK Catapult Network and highlights effective practices for supporting businesses and accelerating system-wide sustainability transitions.
The findings emphasise the importance of combining enterprise-level support with broader system innovation initiatives, while strengthening collaboration, knowledge exchange, and strategic alignment across organisations to maximise the impact of Net Zero interventions.
Achieving Net Zero requires a step change in policy. Government should move beyond short-term, fragmented interventions and establish long-term funding frameworks that support sustained innovation, cross-Catapult collaboration, and system-wide transformation.
