Sustainability is an increasingly important factor for a multi-campus organisation in Fitzrovia but we can’t do it on our own. To deliver sustainable solutions, we need to work collectively as an area. The Fitzrovia Partnership is making this happen.

PROGRAMME 3: ENVIRONMENTAL & PLACE

The Fitzrovia Partnership’s Sustainability Charter

As a Business Improvement District in central London, we bring businesses together in a defined geographical area which can help advance sustainability – playing a role in co-ordinating and delivering solutions working with a large number of stakeholders. Through our programmes and commercial relationships, we play a role in educating and influencing behaviour, acting as a conduit to drive sustainable development in our district.

 

Any activities and programmes we undertake, we are committed to minimising the environmental impacts of conducting business whilst improving the economic and social sustainability for businesses and residents alike.

 

Our approach is guided by our Let’s Do Fitzero programme which aligns with governing bodies such as Mayor of London and local authorities to meet London-wide targets. We prioritise where we can have the greatest impact, and will continue to evolve and seek new opportunities for the district which contribute to our long-term target of Carbon Net Zero
