Working with the sectors to tackle climate change

Whether through developing low-carbon technologies, increasing the energy efficiency of supply chains, buildings or transport fleets, climate change initiatives pioneered by trade associations add significant value to CBI's efforts to help UK businesses across all sectors tackle climate change.

With some 150 trade associations in membership - from business and financial services to transport and construction through to retail and manufacturing - CBI is collaborating with trade associations to facilitate best practice, help share ideas and stimulate change.

The CBI offers a number of channels for trade bodies to feed into its work on climate change, including via a series of climate change sectoral exchange breakfasts.
