    In the final episode of the year, Lara talks with Chris Loaring, Sustainability Director for Landmark Legal, and Neil Ross Russell, Managing Director for Net Zero Now, and their efforts to work with businesses to meet the UK’s net zero goals.


    The group discuss how businesses are being incentivised to go carbon neutral and why you should be proactive in your approach to do so sooner rather than later. They also discuss the regulations in place, the changes that might come into effect next year, as well as the “out of sight, out of mind” mentality that a lot of the country still clings to.


    If you would like help reducing your business’ carbon footprint, get in touch with Neil or connect with him on LinkedIn.


    For ESG reporting, sustainability training and other climate risk management services, get in touch with Chris or connect with him on LinkedIn.
