The UK Corporate Leaders Groups (CLG UK) is a cross-sector, impact-driven business membership group that provides a strong corporate voice to support UK leadership for the transition to a climate neutral, nature positive and socially inclusive economy. CLG UK's mission is to increase business and government leadership through a reinforcing virtuous cycle of increasing ambition and implementing action. For nearly 20 years, it has convened and helped build consensus across the UK business community in support of the transition to competitive, climate-neutral, nature-positive and socially inclusive economies. CLG UK is urging the government to be decisive, provide clear policy frameworks and stay on course to meet 2030 targets. This requires delivery on electrification, markets, skills, homes and aligning climate and nature targets, as well as bringing business with it on its journey. That is where CLG UK is perfectly positioned to work with the UK Pavilion's partners, businesses and change-makers to mobilise investment, technology and innovation to achieve our shared goals.
