Green economy for business


Encouraging green growth: Government and businesses working together.

Transition to a green economy 

Enabling the transition to a green economy: government and business working together helps set out the government's approach to building the green economy, and serves as a tool to inform continuing dialogue between government, business and communities.

It has been developed by Defra, BIS and DECC in response to requests from the private sector for greater clarity on what government means by a “green economy”, the policies being put in place to achieve this, and how they come together.

“Enabling the transition to a green economy” demonstrates a shared responsibility to take action. Looking ahead at the next 10 years, it sets out:

• the range of policy tools the Government is using to support the transition to a green economy,
• the opportunities that are created, and
• the implications for the way in which businesses operate.

The full set of documents is available on the Business Link website.
