Tesco CEO Urges UK Politicians to Maintain Net-Zero Emissions Pledges, Calls for Clear Policies

Tesco’s CEO, Ken Murphy, has called on UK politicians to keep to their net-zero emissions pledges. Murphy believes delivering net-zero is critical for the future. He insists businesses need clarity on policy to plan investments.
