Will Jackson-Moore, Partner, Global ESG Leader, PwC UK, said: ‘Alongside the responsibility imperative, net zero is an economic opportunity that drives growth. The challenges we face are complex and urgent, and greater pressure calls for a better approach to environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. By combining human ingenuity and experience with technology and data, we create both commercial and societal value. This is how we’re moving our clients from ambition to action.’
