More than two thirds (70%) of food and drink companies have had their sustainability plans negatively impacted by rising inflation.
Accountancy firm Johnston Carmichael surveyed more than 100 businesses across Scotland and the UK, finding that inflation, rising energy and raw material costs, as well as the Deposit Return Scheme, were among the top challenges.
Dave Grant, founder of brewery company Fierce Beer, who took part in the survey, explained rising costs have had a serious impact on their own net zero plans in recent months.
