Southwark Climate Collective

The Southwark Climate Collective (SCC) is a free programme funded by the Mayor of London to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Southwark take practical steps to reduce their carbon footprint — and often save money in the process.

This year, Team London Bridge is partnering with Better Bankside to deliver a new series of expert-led carbon training sessions right here in London Bridge.

Tailored advice from sustainability professionals
Step-by-step actions you can start straight away
Low- or no-cost changes that make a big difference
Opportunities to share experiences with other local businesses
