The 2025 Net Zero Census is Now Live!

PH124112 • 26 June 2025

Add your voice to the largest UK industry study of business progress on the journey to net zero.

The UK Net Zero Business Census is an annual survey which creates a nationwide snapshot of how businesses are tackling net zero and climate action, and we need you to share your views and spread the word.


The pathway to net zero must be built on comprehensive data and credible industry intelligence, and with your help and participation that is what the UK Net Zero Census will deliver. We need as many businesses as possible to take the Census and tell us about their own experiences and opinions of the journey to net zero.


The 2025 Net Zero Census has been endorsed by the Net Zero Council, the key government grouping proposed by Broadway and chaired by Ed Miliband. The Census is delivered by the Broadway-led UK Business Climate Hub in partnership with Planet Mark, with insights from Sage, hosting support from British Chambers of Commerce, benchmarking support from Experian, SME-specific analysis supported by British Business Bank, and a wealth of business sector support. Last year over 2000 businesses took part: this second year should be even bigger, presenting a vital opportunity to benchmark our progress and see how far we have come in the past 12 months.


The Census will provide crucial data to support the pursuit of economy-wide decarbonisation, and help us further enhance the UK Business Climate Hub, ensuring the UK's single portal for SME net zero advice continues to meet the needs of the nation's small businesses.



The Census closes on the 18th July, so let's share the survey far and wide.
