Net zero business forum
10am - 12.30pm BST
The focus of our next forum is on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors with a discussion led by our Research Partner Dan Atzori. Dan will address:
- Understanding ESG fundamentals,
- Reflecting on key milestones in global ESG development
- Considering the UK’s progress in ESG implementation and implications for the larger business customer
Our agenda builds on our previous Forum in April, when we focused the mandatory climate-related financial disclosures by publicly quoted companies, large private companies and Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) then being consulted on by the government.

Helping businesses achieve their net zero energy goals
The UK government is about to transform the country by setting out its plans to deliver a net zero emissions economy by 2050. Energy will be at the forefront of this transformation as we build on renewables roll out. Many businesses have bigger ambitions to go further and faster. But how? And how will the new policy framework drive the decisions they face? After a successful trial in summer 2020, Cornwall Insight's Net Zero Business Forum is already starting to help larger businesses address these critical questions.
Join the Net Zero Business Forum
The Net Zero Business Forum provides insight and analysis for business and public sector organisations looking to decarbonise their power, heat and transport needs.

It is led by Cornwall Insight experts.
Baseline coverage is electricity, carbon emissions, gas and heat regulation and policy changes, regulatory rule changes and consultations, EV transition and infrastructure developments. Every forum will also have a focus issue, where Cornwall Insight experts discuss particular themes in more depth.
