Insolvency Service publishes sustainability strategy 2025–30

The Insolvency Service has unveiled its Sustainability Strategy 2025–30, introduced by Chief Executive Officer Duncan Beach, setting out how the agency intends to cut its environmental footprint and build workforce resilience across England, Scotland and Wales.
