SME Data Taskforce, convened by B4NZ and The Broadway Initiative, launches new UK SME Emissions Standard
The UK SME Voluntary Emissions Standard produces a “create once, share many” model for sustainability data.
SMEs are the backbone of UK business and have a vital role to play in the pursuit of a decarbonised economy. Through our UK Business Climate Hub and our leading role on the Net Zero Council, we at Broadway are acutely aware of the challenges these small businesses face. This week we have collaborated with B4NZ and over 50 partners to launch a solution to one critical barrier to the low carbon transition: fragmented, duplicative emissions data requests.
The UK SME Voluntary Emissions Standard is unveiled in the report From Burden to Benefit: Streamlining SME Data Sharing to unlock Green Finance and Economic Incentives. The Standard is a practical, proportionate solution that aligns with PPN006 and public procurement frameworks, supports consistent emissions data from SMEs, and unlocks access to green finance, incentives and supply chain opportunities.
