Sustainability is a word for our time. It is vital for the business world and economy. Sustainability is a global challenge, which requires collective action from government, businesses and citizens. As King Charles III recently commented the “…most existential challenge of all [is] that of global warming, climate change and the catastrophic destruction of nature”.

There is a constant political focus on ensuring that business is transparent and accountable in respect of sustainable development. Business leaders, global corporates and SME businesses are acting to clean their production and take part in the green transition. They recognise that ‘good business is good business’.
