CBI/ECIU Report - Net Zero Economy a 'Powerhouse'

· The net zero economy supported employment equivalent to 1.1 million full-time jobs.

· The net zero economy generated £105 billion in GVA for the UK economy, with £36.7 billion generated directly by net zero businesses.

· For every £1 in value generated by the net zero economy, a further £1.85 is generated in the wider economy.

Embargo: 00.01 02/06/26 James Alexander, CEO of the UK Sustainable Investment and Finance Association (UKSIF), said: "This report makes clear that the net zero economy is a powerhouse for private investment and well-paid jobs throughout the country.

"It's not just unlocking growth across major industries; it's the driving force behind thousands of small and medium-sized businesses.

"The £455 billion investment pipeline is the bedrock of this transformation, with capital committed to projects sustaining vast supply chains. That's why the government must remain focused on creating the conditions that attract this financing into the UK.

"It's vital we fully capture the long-term contribution that the net zero economy can make to our national prosperity."
