Is your business keen to be more energy efficient and reduce emissions?
*Eventbrite password: Bankside
Better Bankside has partnered with the Mayor of London on the Business Climate Challenge, offering 20 Bankside businesses the opportunity to reduce your office building’s energy consumption by 10%.
Emissions from heating and powering commercial and industrial buildings currently make up 36% of London’s carbon footprint. This pioneering initiative is a first for London and gives our neighbourhood the opportunity to become a catalyst for change.
With funding from the Mayor of London, the selected 20 businesses will receive customised expert advice and support over the next year to improve the environmental performance, health and value of your business’ building. In return you’ll be contributing to London’s target of becoming a zero carbon city by 2030.
The recruitment process will take place in March and the project will commence in April 2021. Find out more here.
