More than half of small or medium businesses in the East are still focussed on becoming more environmentally sustainable despite the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a new survey.
The Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking’s Business Barometer found that becoming more environmentally sustainable was important to 53pc of firms – just one point fewer than the proportion which said the same in 2019.
Of the small or medium enterprises (SMEs) surveyed, 54pc said they had still actively worked to become greener in 2020 despite challenges and disruption caused by the pandemic.
