answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/11/2021 answer text <p>We have been encouraging all businesses to set science-based emission reduction targets by joining the Race to Zero. This has been one of the requirements for businesses to participate in UK-managed spaces of COP26. Race to Zero members commit to report publicly both progress against interim and long-term targets, as well as the actions being taken, at least annually.</p><p>The government has also recently announced three distinct new policies that can help public procurers fully embed net zero into their work. One of these requires suppliers who are bidding on central government contracts (over £5 million p/a in value) to commit to achieving net zero by 2050 and to publish a Carbon Reduction Plan. We are sending a clear signal to the market: data on carbon impact - and immediate ambition to reduce it - will be increasingly important in how we choose to do business.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 18/11/2021 15:45:40 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2021 answer text <p>Our default approach is that travel to and from Glasgow is by train or other appropriate public ground transportation. COP26 will be carbon neutral. Our principal priority is to reduce emissions from the conference with any unavoidable carbon emissions from COP26 to be offset. We are working to achieve PAS2060 Carbon Neutrality validation for COP26 to ensure this approach.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2021 answer text <p>The UK Presidency did not invite Shell under the UK Delegation. As COP26 Presidency, we are working to encourage the innovation and commitment of everyone – people, business, countries, cities and regions – as we move the global economy to net zero emissions. This includes a wide range of energy companies.</p><p>The COP26 Presidency is working most closely with organisations that have strong climate credentials – that means companies who have committed to achieving net zero by 2050, have published a 5-10 year plan of action on how they will do this, and committed to Science Based Targets or joined the UN-backed Race to Zero.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 16/11/2021 14:10:38 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
