Responsibility for the environment is not just a responsibility for some of us, it is a concern for everyone and that includes the small business community.
Small businesses in London are aware of their role to play in helping to improve the
environment in which we live, and to try
and stop furthe adverse affect on our climate and our planet.
Part of this picture is sustainability. Being more sustainable does not jsut have environmental benefits to a business, but very often has financial and practical benefits as well.
In conjunction with the
London Sustainability Exchange (LSx), we produced a small business
toolkit to help small businesses be more sustainable and to think about the impact they have on the environment.
The LSx also run a number of events to help businesses in their quest to be more sustainable. Find out more

In early 2011 responded to a Mayoral Consultations on waste. The
Mayor's Business Waste Draft Strategy proposes policies that could have an impact on small businesses.
If you have any comments you would like to contribute to any of our consultation responses, please get in contact with London Development Manager,
Hannah Holdroyd.
