EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Chief Sustainability Officers, practice leaders, product managers, cleantech entrepreneurs and investors require climate change and sustainability market structure, size and forecast data to support commercial and strategic decision-making. Since this is a new “industry” agreeing on shared definitions of the market is a challenge. To help resolve these problems, Verdantix created the Critical Moments model — a globally-capable platform for climate change and sustainability budget analysis and market forecasting. The analysis of the UK market finds that spending by 457 $1 billion plus revenue firms will grow from $5.3 billion in 2010 to $8.4 billion in 2013 representing a 14% compound annual growth rate. Growth in spending on the 28 climate change and sustainability initiatives analysed in the study will vary from 5% to 31% over the 5 year period assessed by the model. Spend by industry varies from $944 million in retail to $19 million in real estate. The Critical Moments model supports sustainability budget benchmarks, sales and marketing strategy and 3-5 year business planning.
