What does the climate emergency mean for businesses?

The effects of climate change are already being felt across the world. Scientists warn that without significant action to reduce emissions globally by 2030, there will be even greater risk of droughts, floods, extreme heat and poverty for hundreds of millions of people.

Taking action to prevent this has hurtled up the priorities of consumers, financial institutions and governments alike. Organisations across the world are already playing their part to avoid climate risks for their employees, customers and bottom line

Introducing the H&F Climate Alliance

The H&F Climate Alliance is the borough's network for businesses and organisations working together to take climate action. The network exists to catalyse partnerships, share expertise and embed climate action in organisations of all sizes across the borough. Through taking action together we can scale impacts and accelerate the transition to Net Zero.

Since launching during COP26, the H&F Climate Alliance community has grown to over 50 members and partners reflecting the diversity of organisations operating in Hammersmith & Fulham.

How do we work with businesses?

Through the H&F Climate Alliance, we work with businesses and organisations in three main ways.

Catalysing projects and partnerships

We facilitate new relationships and partnerships between H&F businesses and organisations, encouraging collaboration and delivery of impact. Our visibility of community action and local climate projects enables us to identify complementary opportunities that will deliver positive outcomes for both businesses and the climate.

Advising on climate action

The H&F Climate Alliance draws on the climate, ecology and air quality expertise of H&F Council to support local organisations implement strategic climate action plans. Through regular sessions for members, expertise is shared along with tangible actions that organisations can implement. We encourage peer-to-peer learning about challenges and successes. H&F businesses also benefit from a range of incentives that make taking climate action easier and more affordable :

  • free advice and financial support of up to £2,000 to make the switch to e-cargo bike deliveries
  • specialist expert advice for your business
  • a complimentary CBN Expert carbon footprint measurement license
  • regular online webinars and in-person events to network with likeminded organisations across the borough.

Member organisations can also be supported through advocacy from the H&F Climate Alliance, for example attendance at member events and meetings to advocate for ambitious climate action.

Engaging businesses in delivering Net Zero

H&F Council has set an ambitious target to reach Net Zero emissions by 2030. To do this we need to work with stakeholders across the borough to deliver our strategy. Involving local businesses in H&F Council's climate projects, drawing on their expertise and experience, offers opportunities to scale impacts and ensure a just transition.

Climate Alliance Pledge

Hammersmith & Fulham has committed to reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 at a borough level. Achieving this will help deliver a clean and sustainable future in which human activity works to the benefit of all people and the environment as well as a thriving local green economy.

Climate change cannot be tackled by any one organisation on its own. It is with our collective knowledge, skills and passion that we can truly make progress against the biggest challenge humanity has ever faced.

The Hammersmith & Fulham Climate Alliance brings together organisations, big and small, to take climate action and learn from one another to deliver real change in and for our borough. This includes organisations that are just starting out on a climate action journey as well as those that are well on their way to net zero and have expertise and learnings to share.

Pledge principles

As a member of the H&F Climate Alliance, we recognise the need for organisations to take rapid climate action to deliver net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 for the borough of Hammersmith & Fulham and want to play our part in achieving this.

We commit to the below H&F Climate Alliance pledge principles:

LEARN: To measure our greenhouse gas emissions to understand our main climate impacts and monitor these on an ongoing basis.

PLAN: To develop and implement a Climate Action Plan.

SHARE: To share progress made and climate action taken with H&F Council and Climate Alliance members each year.
