PROJECT: BUSINESS CLIMATE CHALLENGE (BCC)
The Fitzrovia Partnership has been selected to partner with the Mayor of London to deliver the 2022 Business Climate Challenge (BCC).
The BCC supports businesses in reducing their workplaces’ energy consumption by at least 10% in a year and in developing an action plan to reach net zero emissions.
Businesses within TFP are invited to apply to participate in the BCC – the selected cohort will receive bespoke technical support from a team of energy consultants to improve the performance of their workplaces, identify opportunities for energy and cost reductions, and develop a net zero action plan. This support is worth £000s.

Greenhouse gas emissions from non-domestic buildings in London amount to almost one third of London’s emissions. Therefore, businesses are critical in supporting the city to achieve its net zero carbon by 2030 target.
Energy efficiency saves money, which is even more critical with rising energy prices and the cost-of-living crisis. But it is often hard to know where to start.
By participating in this pioneering initiative, members of The Fitzrovia Partnership can receive direct support and join a growing list of forward thinking businesses all committed to climate action.
Participants in the first round of the BCC, delivered in partnership with Better Bankside, saw on average a 16% reduction in their energy use and cost savings of £8,300.
In this next round, 250 businesses from across London will be selected to participate. These businesses will commit to achieving at least a 10% reduction in energy use in the first year. This will help put London on the track to net zero.
Up to 30 of these businesses can come from The Fitzrovia Partnership.
