Navigating a rapidly changing business landscape

UK suppliers are increasingly grappling with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) challenges as they adapt to evolving regulations, consumer expectations, and market pressures. ESG issues not only risks reputational damage but can also lead to regulatory penalties and lost business opportunities.

Net Zero

The focus on Carbon emissions reporting has intensified with businesses recognising its significance in achieving sustainability goals, complying with legislation and appealing to consumers. 

Packaging

The UK government has tightened legislation with the introduction of the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for packaging and the Plastic Packaging tax.
