MARKET GROWTH FACTORS

The UK environmental consulting market is driven by environmental legislation such as the Climate Change Act passed by the UK government, which established legally binding targets for reducing emissions, and set an original target of an 80% reduction by 2050. It was changed to net-zero with budgets every five years set on carbon emissions, and the independent Committee on Climate Change overseeing this. The arrangements have increased the demand for environmental consultancy, especially in energy, manufacturing and construction where there is a need for compliance with environmental law.

Socially responsible and sustainable business practices are major contributors to the market's growth. In 2023, a survey occurred when it found that 82% of UK consumers expect that retailers protect the environment and 75% would pay a premium for environmentally friendly products. Environmental consulting firms grow as companies face pressure to address Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in company operations. Environmental consultants can help companies understand their environmental impact, develop sustainability strategies, and meet toward ESG targets. This contributed to the consulting industry's strong growth.

Infrastructure development and urbanization are also drivers; around a quarter of the UK's GHG emissions are from the built environment, in part because of represented carbon in buildings and infrastructure. The Greater London Authority and other organizations set represented carbon targets through whole life-cycle carbon assessments: South Gloucestershire Council's proposed represented carbon targets are 625 kgCO2e/m2 for residential buildings and 970 kgCO2e/m2 for larger non-residential buildings. Environmental consultants are important to environmental impact assessments, land-use planning, and sustainability assessments, especially for energy-efficient and renewable energy projects.
