Sustainability

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. LCCI is committed to supporting members of all sizes to reduce their carbon emissions in line with these goals.

Our Sustainability group is here to help you understand the requirements and actively protect the planet through useful resources, tools and events.
