Sustainability & Social Value

Many businesses want to reduce their environmental impact but don't always know where to start. Our sustainability health checks provide straightforward, practical support to help organisations understand their current position and identify realistic next steps. 

We've partnered with sustainability consultants WSP so businesses can access free support and guidance to make meaningful progress, whatever stage they're at on their sustainability journey.

The way waste is presented and collected has a huge impact on how Fitzrovia looks and feels. Our partnership with First Mile provides businesses with exclusive discounted rates for zero-to-landfill waste services and ongoing guidance to improve recycling rates and reduce costs. Our next step is to explore smarter ways of managing waste across the neighbourhood. The aim is simple: cleaner streets, less clutter, fewer vehicles, better recycling, and a more welcoming environment.

Disposable coffee cups and takeaway packaging are among the most visible sources of waste in Fitzrovia.

We're working with ReLondon and local businesses to explore how reusable alternatives could help reduce single-use waste. By understanding local needs and testing new approaches, we're laying the groundwork for a potential reuseable packaging pilot that makes it easier for businesses, workers, and visitors to make more sustainable choices.

Creating a more sustainable Fitzrovia isn't just about infrastructure, it's about everyday choices. We deliver campaigns, events, and activities that help people take practical action on issues such as air quality, urban greening, heat resilience, and sustainable travel. From community planting days to active travel initiatives, these projects make it easy for businesses and employees to get involved while contributing to a greener, healthier neighbourhood.

One organisation's surplus can be another's opportunity. We help connect businesses, charities, and community organisations so furniture, equipment, materials, and resources can be shared, reused, and redistributed locally. 

By making it easier to exchange resources and support community needs, we're reducing waste while strengthening relationships across Fitzrovia. It's a practical example of how environmental and social impact can go hand in hand.

Get involved: tell us about your available resources, or opportunities you'd like to share with local organisations.
