In recent years, the United Kingdom has made major headway in its pursuit of a net zero economy. Not only was it the first major economy to pass a net zero pledge, but it's living up to its goals, with the target being net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. It may sound like a far-off goal, but it's a big one, and requires the help of all organisations to make it possible. So, what should you be doing to help?

‍

What Is the Net Zero Pledge?

As of 2021, just two years after the Net Zero Pledge was initially announced, analysts have reported that the United Kingdom is already halfway to meeting its target. Carbon Brief found that the UK's greenhouse gas emissions were 51% less last year than in 1990.

‍

It's important to compare today's emissions to 1990 levels, as that's actually how "net-zero" is defined for the United Kingdom. In order to reach its net-zero target, the United Kingdom must cut greenhouse gas emissions to at least 100% below 1990 levels, with the aim to do so by 2050. It's worth noting that this target does not include emissions from international aviation or shipping, though officials are working to revise the goal to include these emissions as well.

‍

The UK's 2020 levels mark major progress, although a great deal of the reduction can be attributed to the pandemic. In any case, organisations across the UK still have plenty of work ahead of them.

Meeting the Net Zero Guidelines

Every organisation plays a role in meeting the UK's net-zero target, but your changes should be inspired by far more than legislation. As consumers become more climate-aware, they're more apt to support businesses that share similar values and visions.

‍

By adopting net-zero principles and taking active steps to reduce emissions, your organisation can build loyalty while having a sizable positive impact on the environment at large. The issue that most businesses are facing today is that they truly have no idea where to begin.

‍

How do you cut emissions without impacting efficiency, quality, or scale? Partnering with a trusted company like Ryde can help steer you in the right direction so that you can take that first big step.
