In a snap poll commissioned by Business Matters a significant 68% of surveyed SMEs in the UK expressed disagreement with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s alteration of the country’s net zero policy.

The research highlighted a growing demand for stability from the government.

The change of stance from the Prime Minister has sparked robust debate. The UK’s commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 is seen as integral to the country’s climate change mitigation efforts. However, this shift in policy has left many businesses feeling uncertain and anxious about the potential implications for their operations.

According to the study, SMEs form the backbone of the UK economy, accounting for three fifths of employment and around half of turnover in the UK private sector. Given their crucial role, government policies significantly influence these businesses’ stability and growth. Yet, the research revealed a critical need for a more predictable and stable policy environment.

The surveyed SMEs voiced their concerns about the potential for policy changes to disrupt business operations, impact investment decisions, and create an unpredictable business environment. They argued that sudden policy changes could deter investment, impact operational costs, and ultimately pose a risk to their survival.

One of the respondents, a small business owner from Manchester, shared, “We are already dealing with uncertainties due to Brexit and the pandemic. Adding more variables into the mix, such as a change in stance on the net zero policy, only adds to the confusion.”

The research also underscored the belief that stability in government policy is essential for the long-term success of the UK’s SME sector. A predictable policy environment not only fosters business confidence but also encourages investment and innovation.

However, it is essential to highlight that this sentiment isn’t unanimous across all SMEs. A minority of the surveyed businesses expressed support for the Prime Ministers change of stance, noting that a flexible approach towards achieving net-zero could provide businesses with more room to adapt and innovate.

In conclusion, the research indicates a palpable yearning for stability among a significant number of UK SMEs. While the government’s commitment to tackling climate change is viewed as essential, businesses are calling for clearer communication and less sudden policy shifts. The balancing act between achieving net-zero and ensuring a stable policy environment for SMEs will be a challenge for the government moving forward.

This research provides valuable insights into the thoughts and concerns of UK SMEs. It is a clarion call for the government that, while ambitious climate goals are commendable, the needs and stability of SMEs, the backbone of the UK economy, must also be given equal consideration.

The government, it seems, has a fine balancing act to perform in the coming years. One thing is clear: SMEs are looking for stability and predictability amidst the drive towards a greener future. The government would do well to take their concerns seriously, considering their pivotal role in the UK’s economy.
