The survey\u00a0indicates that half of SMEs calculate emissions, and 60% have plans to reduce carbon impact – but two-thirds of small business owners are worried they don\u2019t have the right skills and knowledge to tackle the climate crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sustainability is the word on everyone\u2019s lips, but it\u2019s a broad issue that encompasses every aspect of a business\u2019s operation. Practical advice on how to implement real change that will make a real difference is short on the ground.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Companies simply paying lip-service to the concept of sustainability, without making any real change, is a growing problem. You can read about the legal and reputational repercussions of so-called \u2018greenwashing\u2019 on page 26.<\/span><\/p>\n

On page 16, meanwhile, you can read about the possibilities of low-carbon electric heating for both new homes and existing older homes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On a similar note, Ansell Lighting takes a look at tackling the dual issues of energy efficiency and light pollution in outdoor lighting solutions – turn to page 20.<\/span><\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the issue, Schneider Electrical marketing director shares a guide to the Wild West of social commerce – looking at Tik Tok, transparency and user tracking (page 30).<\/span><\/p>\n

Plus, as always, our usual news, views, products and installations from market-leading businesses across the sector, including a preview for Digital Construction Week 2023 (33) and an update from the Electrical Industries Charity (28).<\/span><\/p>\n

Enjoy the issue!<\/span><\/p>\n
