The Council will be co-chaired by Energy Secretary, Ed Miliband, and Co-operative Group CEO, Shrine Khoury-Haq.
Beverley Cornaby said: “The relaunch of the Net Zero Council marks an important step in strengthening collaboration between government, business, civil society, and local government to accelerate the UK’s transition to net zero. Businesses are ready to lead, invest, and innovate, but they need the right policy framework and long-term clarity to unlock the full potential of a clean, competitive economy.
"The UK Corporate Leaders Group welcomes the opportunity to bring business leadership and ambition to the Council, supporting accelerated delivery and ensuring that government strategies are informed by real-world insights and that industry can play a central role in delivering a net zero future.”
The Council brings together business, civil society and local authorities to drive the clean energy transition as part of the Plan for Growth. Council members will provide advice to government to support net zero strategy development, coordinate action to address cross-economy challenges and maximise the many economic and societal opportunities offered by the net zero transition.
