Chris Maclean, chief executive of True, discusses the importance of energy procurement in the climate crisis and how it will help businesses transition to renewable solutions.

- **As the UK strides towards its net zero by 2050 target, it is becoming increasingly vital for the business sphere to decarbonise. **
- **Evolving and diversifying your energy portfolio by investing in a range of sources can future-proof your business.  **
- **Utilising new and innovative technology that harnesses data to provide rapid insights and information to key decision-makers. **

Transitioning to renewable energy is increasingly becoming non-negotiable and finding cost-effective ways of achieving this must be at the forefront of business leaders’ minds. Government statistics reveal that ‘business and industry’ contributed to[ 19% of all UK territorial emissions](https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/environmentalaccounts/articles/climatechangeinsightsuk/february2023#:~:text=%22Industry%22%20accounted%20for%2019%25,the%20UK%20(Figure%205).), highlighting the significant role that they will play in reaching the national target of net zero by 2050.  

The International Energy Agency has laid out a [timeline](https://www.iea.org/reports/net-zero-roadmap-a-global-pathway-to-keep-the-15-0c-goal-in-reach/executive-summary) that would require organisations to lower their emissions by 45% by 2030 to realistically reach that target, pinpointing the urgency behind leaders of industry needing to rethink their operations and start progressing with renewable initiatives.
