The UK's tax system does not support environmental industrial investment, claims Stephen Pugh, finance director of Adnams brewery.
Pugh wrote in a letter to the Financial Times: "Those who pay extra to construct buildings that use less energy will receive no allowances."
He added tax authorities told Adnams they would not receive a tax relief for buildings which needed no artificial cooling systems - even though they use less energy.
However, the traditional style buildings, which need cooling and heating equipment, were able to claim a tax relief.
Pugh is calling on the political parties to address the situation in order to encourage industrial investment.
