Southwark Climate Collective
The Southwark Climate Collective (SCC) was 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.
Team London Bridge partnered with Better Bankside to deliver a new series of expert-led carbon training sessions right here in London Bridge.
The Southwark Climate Collective has now ended
Across the borough, the Southwark Climate Collective 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.
Proven Impact: SCC 2024–2025
In 2024/25, 15 London Bridge based businesses received free sustainability audits worth £6,000 each. These audits identified specific ways to reduce emissions across:
- Energy use
- Waste reduction
- Freight efficiency
- Sustainable supply chains
2024 participants included:
Arches London Bridge • Energy Networks Association • Fully Charged • Hilton London Tower Bridge • London Bridge Hotel • Montagu Private Equity LLP • Musician’s Union • Planning Potential • Sollip Restaurant • Smashing Plates • The LaLiT London • The Libertarian Ltd • Trivet • Unicorn Theatre • Vivat Bacchus
