More employees want firmer action on pollution

A growing number of employees think businesses are not doing enough to tackle climate change, according to a new survey.

It found that 55% want companies to do more, up from 45% in 2019, and offering a stark warning ahead of the COP26 summit in Glasgow in November.

The survey of 1,000 people last week by the personal behaviour app Pawprint revealed that only 14% believe UK business actions are adequate.

Younger females were the most scathing about a lack of business action with 63% of 18 to 24-year-olds claiming that UK businesses “simply aren’t doing enough”.
