Join us for breakfast in Borough to find out what support the initiative will offer to SMEs in Southwark and how you can get involved, cut carbon emissions and costs, and make real progress towards Net Zero 2030.

Audience: Businesses

Do you work for a small or medium business in Southwark? We are extremely excited to announce the launch of the Southwark Climate Collective, a new 12-month programme designed to support SMEs across the borough in taking action on climate, supported by the Mayor of London.

The initiative will provide free, expert decarbonisation support for 160 businesses across Southwark to reduce carbon emissions, increase efficiency and cut costs.

Participating businesses can choose to take part in one of four programme streams – waste, energy, freight and supply chains – through which you will receive tailored technical support, trainings, network events, carbon literacy training and a celebration event. 

Better Bankside, Team London Bridge, Blue Bermondsey, Elephant & Castle Business Forum and Southwark Council will provide guidance and support to businesses throughout the programme.

Come along to our launch event to find out more about the initiative and how your business can benefit.
