摘要

英国大多数企业的员工人数在250人以下,因此被视为中小企业。中小企业在温室气体排放中占很大比例,因此中小企业在实现净零排放的过程中需要采取紧急行动。目前中小企业已经认识到这一点,因为他们越来越多地采取脱碳行动,但他们的努力受到一些障碍的阻碍。我们的研究旨在通过在线调查和访谈,深入了解中小企业在脱碳业务运营时面临的障碍。虽然我们的研究证实,从中小企业的角度来看,资金限制已被确定为脱碳的主要障碍,但超过一半的中小企业确认,他们缺乏知识(34%,n=33)和技能(21%,n=20)是不测量碳排放并开始脱碳之旅的主要原因。关键词:中小企业,壁垒,脱碳之旅,净零。

SMEs’ Drivers and Barriers to Decarbonisation in the East of England
Most businesses in the UK have under 250 employees and thus count as SMEs. SMEs account for a significant proportion of greenhouse gas emissions and so there is a need for urgent action to be taken by SMEs in the journey to achieve net zero. This is currently recognised by SMEs as they are increasingly taking up decarbonisation actions, but their efforts are impeded by several barriers. Our research sought to provide insights into the barriers SMEs face when decarbonising business operations through an online survey and interview. Although our research confirms that financial constraints has been identified as the principal barrier to decarbonisation from SMEs perspectives, more than half of SMEs confirmed they lack the knowledge (34%, n=33) and skill (21%, n=20) was the main reason for not measing their carbon emission and starting their journey towards decarbonisation. Keywords: SMEs, Barriers, decarbonisation journey, Net Zero.
