Join our decarbonising community
Collaboration between landlords, tenants and local businesses in the BID area is critical to accelerate a transition to net zero. The more businesses commit to reducing their carbon emissions, the faster the area can reach its net zero target.
About the Charter
The London Bridge Decarbonisation Charter is a framework for Team London Bridge (TLB) members and area stakeholders to commit to making London Bridge one of the most sustainable places to do business in the world.
The Charter encourages collective commitment to work with TLB towards being a net zero business district, as well as individual commitments from organisations in their decarbonising journeys.
The Charter is not a legal framework, but a commitment to improve and work together (see FAQs section).
It is not our intention to monitor and evaluate through this process, the Charter is a mechanism for improvement and guidance as we work towards our common goals.
To Participate
Any organisation in London Bridge can take part at whatever stage of their sustainability journey they are currently at, whether based here, a landlord, managing agent or partner.
It requires a contact person and an authority signature from the organisation. Participation lasts for the year and is renewed every year (Sept/Oct).
Organisations that sign up can request to be visible on our webpage, and will receive an e-badge to use on your own website, or other materials.
TLB will provide tools, services and training to support organisations to deliver on the aims of the Charter.

Where are we now?
We have given participants 4 distinct groups to help prioritise their next steps:
Net Zero Trailblazer = by 2030 in accordance with the Southwark Council and London Bridge BID target.
Net Zero Champion = by 2050 in accordance with the UK Government target
Net Zero Pathfinder = working towards setting a net zero target through application
Net Zero Collective Commitment = Not quite ready for this, but have made a collective commitment.
As of 1st February 2024, our participants fall into the following groups:
Trailblazers = 49%
Champions = 14%
Pathfinders = 20%
Collective Commitment = 17%
Timeline of Net Zero Commitments
Based on initial research, our baseline in November 2022 suggests 46 businesses (out of about 350) have made a Net Zero pledge and four have already achieved it.
Help us to keep this chart up to date by providing your organisation’s information and signing the Charter.
What will it show about London Bridge
We will only share the name of organisations that want to make their participation public. However, we will indicate the number of participants that have signed and indicate an aggregate of where they are in their journey. The more businesses making progress will clearly illustrate how far we are progressing as a business district.
