Financial services firm Hargreaves Lansdown (HL) has called on Chancellor Jeremy Hunt to prioritise the green economy and net zero in next week’s spring budget.
The Bristol-based company said the UK was “lagging” behind other countries when it comes to investment in green technology, adding “more needs to be done” to incentivise the transition to cleaner energy.
The FTSE 100 firm warned the government if the areas were not made “key budget priorities” it could lead to “yet another missed opportunity” for job creation and economic growth.
