Meeting description: At this introductory meeting we raised the transition to a net-zero economy. We highlighted our 'State of the Nation' report from this March which stated that environmental issues are a key issue for small firms and that 73% believe they have a responsibility to help the country meet its climate change targets. We also raised labour shortages in the tourism and hospitality sectors. We provided key findings from a report due to be published in the next week emphasising the acute impact staff shortages are having for Highlands and Islands businesses in their tourism and hospitality sectors.
