Towards net-zero: Exploring the current state of low carbon supply chains in the Midlands

The United Kingdom is a global leader in the fight against climate change, having been the first major economy to enact legislation by setting an ambitious net-zero emissions target for 2050. The Midlands, as the epicentre of industrial activity in the UK, has already begun this transformational journey towards net-zero. The Midlands Engine commissioned this research, which was carried out by WMG, with the goal of informing on the current state of supply chains by exploring SC vulnerabilities and disruptions, identifying strategic opportunities, and providing a set of policy interventions to accelerate efforts toward building manufacturing to support the net-zero economy.
