Regulate Us
Businesses face profound economic disruption from climate breakdown – but they can’t deliver net zero or adapt without adequate regulation.
Join the proactive businesses lobbying Government for science-based regulation and policy, to accelerate net zero and protect their economic foundations.
Right now, few UK businesses have viable net zero transition plans – and without regulation holding all players accountable, forward-thinking businesses can’t meet the cost of urgent transition and remain competitive.
Meanwhile, without the business community engaged and enabled, the Government will fail to meet its legal obligations of the Climate Change Act and Paris Accord.
Businesses must tell Government: REGULATE US – energising the democratic machinery to protect their operations in the face of escalating climate breakdown.
Business-as-usual has reached a precipice. Without rapid, comprehensive efforts to achieve net zero, the operating space for many businesses will collapse or vanish in the medium term. Science-based regulation and policy should already be accelerating decarbonisation and jump-starting climate adaptation. Instead, policy focuses on meaningless targets, inadequate disclosures and fantasies of free-market solutions.
Without the appropriate policy and enforceable regulatory environment, business will remain unable to take the necessary strategic steps and invest towards transition.
The UK business community is waking up to climate risk:
82% of business leaders now agree that government intervention is needed, so that they can act in their own commercial interest and deliver net zero transition.
Now they must step forward and say so:
The silent business majority must publicly admit that free markets alone cannot solve the climate crisis.

As we developed the plan to turn our goals into action, it didn’t take long to realise that we
needed public policy changes not just to achieve
our own goals, but also to move the needle
on climate change globally.
To make the long-term investments necessary to achieve net zero, businesses need a clear and stable policy environment. Weakening its targets sends the wrong signals, deters investment and turns heads towards countries with more stable regulatory environments. It places the UK's prospects as a clean tech leader at serious risk.
An Invitation to Leaders
In a world where business wisdom still asserts that growth depends on slashing ‘red tape’, it’s not straightforward to speak up for regulation. We warmly invite leaders who understand that it’s too late for smooth transition without disruption, and who wish to make a significant impact, to join like-minded others in our leadership circles. We’re also hosting working groups focused in the areas of employee engagement, and the lobbying role and potential of insurance and tech industries.
