  • The Broadway Initiative
    Co-Founder And Chair
    The Broadway Initiative May 2017 - Present
    The Broadway Initiative facilitates a work programme designed to help enable the whole economy to meet net zero and wider environmental goals. We believe collaboration between all sectors of the economy is essential to protect and restore the environment, so we provide the space for this to happen. Our vision is that businesses meet the UK’s legally mandated targets effectively and in ways that improve both competitiveness and quality of life. To succeed we need both a clear, coherent policy framework, and much greater common purpose between businesses, different sectors of the economy, investors and Government. We believe greater collaboration will help develop consistent methods and tools to deliver robust plans, building trust and giving businesses sufficient certainty to plan and invest. In turn this will accelerate actions to address climate change and the need to restore nature. See https://www.broadwayinitiative.org.uk/
