To be fair, the time is probably now but the question is how to convey that sense of urgency. There was a big ticking clock with Brexit. There is a big clicking clock with climate action but it just does not seem to be translating. That is not a reflection on the work being done because it appears a lot of work is being done. Perhaps it is more of a societal thing than a business thing.
In terms of the green for business companies, a figure of 1,070 was mentioned. Does that refer to the total number of companies that have been through the process or those that have engaged in any way with the process? How does that square up as a percentage of the overall number of client companies? The figure of more than 1,000 companies is very impressive, unless it is from a total of 1 million. What is it in percentage terms?
