Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

White Paper on Enterprise Policy: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment

Mr. David Hegarty:

What is very encouraging is that I think firms are starting to see for themselves they need to improve their performance in the area of climate change as it is becoming a factor where investors want to see that a firm is serious about the environment. I saw in the paper this morning that Kingspan is setting an internal carbon budget for its own operations. Slowly but surely, firms are starting to realise that this is something that is important to them for their future competitiveness that they need to engage with this agenda. So we have to build on that.
