Regulate.

Us. Better

A business-led campaign demanding better regulation to address the crossing of planetary boundaries.

Businesses face profound economic disruption from environmental 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 under 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 environmental breakdown.




What business professionals say

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.
John Monsif
Director of Government Relations at McDonald’s
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.

Business-as-usual has reached a precipice. Without rapid, comprehensive efforts to address the crossing of planetary boundaries, 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 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.
 

Now they must step forward and say so. The silent business majority must publicly admit that free markets alone cannot solve the climate crisis.

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.
