Largest UK firms will be forced to publish net-zero strategies

The UK’s largest firms and financial institutions will soon have to publish strategies on how they will transition to net-zero by 2050 under plans announced by Chancellor Rishi Sunak.

The commitment has been delivered through the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) and will see 50 firms based in 45 countries come under the new rules.
