Sustainable X partners with Better Bankside to help Southwark businesses

London, 25 November , 2025 – Sustainable X is delighted to announce its partnership with Better Bankside to deliver tailored sustainability and decarbonisation support to local businesses across Southwark.

The new Southwark Climate Collective 2025–26 programme, funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and supported by the Mayor of London, builds on the success of the previous phase, which helped more than 140 local businesses take practical steps towards reducing their environmental impact.

This latest chapter will see businesses receive bespoke one-to-one support from sustainability experts, helping them to lower their carbon footprint, strengthen their market position, and communicate their achievements with confidence. Sustainable X is proud to be one of the consultancy partners delivering this impactful programme.

Helping businesses turn ambition into action

The Southwark Climate Collective is designed to make sustainability accessible and achievable for busy business owners. Each participating company will receive practical support tailored to their needs  from understanding and measuring carbon emissions to exploring sustainability accreditations and developing strong communication strategies.

This focused support will help businesses identify opportunities for growth, improvement, reducing costs, and building resilience in the face of changing customer and supplier expectations.

“Better Bankside knows that our local SMEs want to become more sustainable and use this journey to grow their business.  The ambition is clear but needs to be unlocked with knowledge, skills and resourcing.  I’m delighted to be working with Sustainable X delivering just that.’  Their approach is spot on and is already achieving great things.”

– Gideon Taylor, Director of Place, Better Bankside

A unique opportunity for local impact

For Sustainable X, joining this programme is an opportunity to work directly with businesses that form the heart of Southwark’s economy. Through collaboration, shared learning, and expert support, the initiative aims to create measurable carbon savings and long-lasting change at the local level.

“We’re genuinely excited to be part of this next phase of the Southwark Climate Collective. It’s a brilliant example of what happens when local businesses come together with shared purpose. Southwark has such a vibrant and diverse business community, and helping these organisations embed sustainability into their everyday decisions is exactly the kind of impact we love to create.”
