I wanted to update you on the Net 0 Council which I recently co-chaired with Shireen Khuri Haque, the CEO of The Co-operative.

It's got businesses represented from Siemens in engineering, HSBC in finance, through to SMEs and representative organisations.

What we're seeking to do is realise an opportunity which McKinsey, the consultants, say could be worth a trillion pounds to the UK by 2030.

That's by embracing net 0, seeing it not as an obstacle but as an opportunity to put the UK ahead of others, future-proof it for the future and do right by the environment.

We're trying to make sure that we win on every front and the Net 0 Council brings together finance, industry and government so that we can work together jointly to see that goal achieved.
