Responding to the Prime Minister's Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial
Revolution, The
FDF's Head of Climate Change and Energy Policy, Emma Piercy, said:
“We welcome the Prime Minister's ambitious plan which captivates the wide
ranging efforts
needed to take effective action to achieve Net Zero and deliver a green
economic
recovery. As the UK's
largest manufacturing sector, the food and drink industry is absolutely
committed to a green recovery
post Covid-19 and achieving the Government's net-zero carbon target by 2050.
“We have identified a clear pathway, but the changes required to manufacturing
processes and
energy supply systems are so significant, businesses will need clear direction
and support in partnership
with Government and other stakeholders to make that transition. We now look
forward to the imminent
publication of the Energy White Paper.”
