Business Sustainability Series

The Business Sustainability Series has been created to help businesses gain the necessary skills needed to reduce their energy consumption, achieve cost and energy savings and reduce carbon emissions.

In particular the trainings are aimed at participants on the current Camden and Brent Business Climate Challenge and participations from the previous Mayor of London’s Business Climate Challenge, as the sessions are designed to support business understanding of their net zero recommendation reports, and how to take action.

However, attendance is absolutely encouraged and free for all Camden Climate Alliance members, members of The Fitzrovia Partnership and businesses based in Brent.

Our trainings are designed so that there’s something for everyone, irrespective of whether a business is only just starting it’s sustainability journey, or planning large scale retrofit. Details of our past and upcoming trainings can be found below.
