Empowering Southwark businesses with practical action to reduce carbon and build business resilience

Businesses like yours keep our streets vibrant and our communities thriving. SMEs are the backbone of the economy, and together, you hold the power to lead the transition to net zero. 

The Southwark Climate Collective has helped 200+ SMEs cut emissions, save money and improve business practices. We know SMEs want to act on climate but face real barriers – our first cohort showed that even small steps can deliver big savings.

In 2025/26, we offered:

  • Carbon Literacy Training – build knowledge and confidence to act.
  • Expert-led training workshops – practical sessions on a range of sustainability topics.
  • Bespoke consultancy for 24 SMEs – tailored support with emissions monitoring, accreditation and marketing and communications.

Watch how our first cohort turned small changes into big results.
