We work closely with the Greater London Authority, Westminster City Council and wider partners on addressing the climate emergency. Read below for Action Plans and iniatives in place from our partners across London.
The Business Climate Challenge
The Mayor’s Business Climate Challenge (BCC) is an ambitious new challenge programme that supports businesses to reduce energy consumption in their buildings, cut energy costs and lower their emissions.
Sustainable City Charter
Westminster City Council and the Westminster Property Association launched Westminster’s first Sustainable City Charter in November 2022, which encourages Westminster businesses of any shape or size to act to reduce the city’s carbon footprint and therefore ensure businesses and buildings are resilient to the impact of climate change, now and in the future.
Signing the Charter gives you access to an evolving toolkit of support, advice and local case studies designed to help all kinds of businesses in the city regardless of where you are on your journey to tackling climate change. Joining together means we can all work to tackle the climate emergency.
Waste management and sustainability
Westminster City Council work with Veolia to provide sustainable waste management and collections to businesses. The Council has created a guide to aid businesses in improving their sustainable credentials in this area with case studies across the borough.

Electric Vehicles
Westminster City Council has over 1000 on-street electric vehicle (EV) charge points across the City, ranging from 3kW to 50kW, with more being added to provide greater coverage for the growing number of EV owners in the City.

To support a more sustainable property development sector, Transport for London has also made the TfL Sustainable Development Framework (SDF) available as an open-source tool for delivering best-in-class sustainable developments.
