SUEZ recycling and recovery UK CEO joins Government's expanded Net Zero Council
The Government’s newly expanded Net Zero Council has welcomed SUEZ recycling and recovery UK CEO John Scanlon to its ranks.
Originally set up in 2023 but relaunched yesterday with a wider cross-section of members, the council is co-chaired by Energy Secretary Ed Miliband and Co-operative Group CEO Shirine Khoury-Haq and brings together organisations from business, civil society and local authorities to ensure the UK’s transition to Net Zero drives economic growth and creates jobs as part of Government’s Plan for Change.
John Scanlon said: “I am delighted to bring SUEZ’s expertise in the circular economy to the Net Zero Council. Often unseen, the work of the waste and resources sector sits at the core of the delivery of the Industrial Strategy - at the same time as we are taking steps to decarbonise our own operations, the sector is helping other sectors to decarbonise by providing secondary resources for manufacturing, and energy and fuels for transport, homes and industry. A resource efficient economy is a thriving economy and I’m looking forward to working in partnership with industry peers to advance the Government’s mission to become a Clean Energy Superpower.”
