Responsible growth is not a new consideration for the industrial manufacturing sector. An appreciation of the environmental impact of the production process has evolved over time – and no one working inside the industry doubts that it will need to play an integral part if the UK is to meet emissions reduction targets by 2035 and NetZero targets by 2050.

Our latest Strategy& report, The road to responsible growth, draws on the insights of our sector-specific consulting and deals strategy teams.
