Despite the pandemic, latest data has found that the majority of smaller sized businesses are continuing to focus on improving their environmental sustainability.

The Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking’s Business Barometer revealed that 54% of SMEs said becoming environmentally sustainable is important to their business, with a fifth saying they had used suppliers that source environmentally friendly products and services (19%) or made alterations to their premises to improve energy efficiency (19%) in the last year.

Interestingly, the top reasons for being more focussed on environmental sustainability were:

  • Pressure from customers (18% vs 22% in 2019)
  • Long-term costs savings (18% vs 23% in 2019)
  • Firms’ corporate social responsibility policies (17% vs 19% in 2019).
