SME Support
A national initiative with a specific focus on SMEs. The hub provides various tools, resources and support to manage your businesses transition to net zero.
LCCI is committed to supporting members of all sizes reduce their carbon emissions and protect the planet. Here, we provide a wide range of initiatives to help businesses on the road to net zero. The UK economy is legally bound to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and reduce carbon emissions by 60% by 2035 from today’s levels. The Mayor of London has also set ambitious aims for London to be a zero-carbon city by 2030. This means businesses and industry will have to act now to reduce their carbon emissions accordingly.
On this hub you will find useful resources, tools and events to help you understand the requirements and become greener.

Over 75 per cent of the world’s land surface has been significantly altered by humans since the Industrial Revolution. Combined with similar degradation of oceans and wetlands, this is threatening around a million plant and animal species. This requires urgent action. Protecting and restoring nature is not only crucial for tackling climate change, it is also essential for the global economy.
London's commitment to becoming a net-zero carbon city by 2030 is ambitious and inspiring. The journey ahead presents both challenges and opportunities. We must navigate two crucial questions: Will the transition to a net zero future be fair and inclusive? And can we achieve it quickly enough? Kieron Boyle explores this in the latest issue of London Business Matters.
