Take action on cutting carbon and future-proof your business

Our free training, workshops and consultancy programme are designed to make climate action achievable

141 Southwark SMEs have already cut emissions, saved money and improved business practices with support from the Southwark Climate Collective.

We know SMEs face real barriers. Limited time, lack of expertise and uncertainty about where to start can make climate action feel daunting.

Our first cohort proved that even small, targeted actions deliver real results: businesses reduced energy use by an average of 16%, saving over £8,000, while improving operational efficiency.

Think of the Southwark Climate Collective as your toolkit for climate action. We are offering free, practical, business-led support that helps you take measurable steps toward net zero while strengthening your business.
