The 2025 UK Net Zero Business Census Report has been released by Planet Mark and BIFA’s Policy adviser for Sustainable Logistics Jamie McKean has today attended the official Parliamentary launch event for this initiative at the House of Lords in London.
Over 2,000+ organisations shared their progress, challenges and ambitions in the census, providing the UK’s largest snapshot of business climate action. The census was endorsed by the DESNZ Net Zero Council and delivered by UK Business Climate Hub, Planet Mark, Sage and a coalition of 50+ leading business bodies.
Some of this year’s findings include:
- Supply chains are driving accountability with 51% of large organisations having received requests for carbon data from suppliers, rising to 62% for exporters.
- Ambition is holding steady, but only 11% of businesses have set a net zero target.
- 59% have taken energy efficiency actions and 55% cut waste.
- Costs are the biggest barrier, with 66% saying they hold back progress.
The evidence is clear: organisations that act now will gain savings, resilience, and investor confidence. Those who delay risk losing competitiveness.
