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

SMEs are the backbone of the economy, and together, 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. Together, we’ve learnt that even small steps can deliver big savings.

From the 2026–27 programme onwards, Southwark Climate Collective is being delivered by Better Bankside, supporting Southwark SMEs to take practical action on climate change. Better Bankside is committed to continuing the programme and providing businesses with the tools, knowledge and support they need to make meaningful progress on their climate journey.
