Julie Tucker, PR & CSR Manager, BE Offices:
"Our BE Offices Bankside took part in the 2021 Business Climate Challenge pilot and received Mayoral recognition for reducing our energy consumption by 28 per cent. It was a no-brainer to apply for our two Camden-based premises, BE Offices Euston and Headspace Group, Hatton Garden to take part in the 2022 scale-up."

Unlocking value within our communities - can you help?
We're looking for businesses to be a part of our Climate Connectors programme and help mobilise and inspire meaningful climate action across Camden's schools and communities.
Businesses could support in a variety of ways, including but not limited to:
- Funding
- Donation of materials or resources
- Corporate volunteers
- Or if you have any ideas for local projects, we want to hear from you!
What is the impact of supporting a local project?
In May 2022, sponsorship from Urban Partners and Google made it possible to host a climate event for more than 70 Camden students at Samsung KX.
Students joined local experts for discussions across a range of topics including energy efficiency and the built environment, climate justice, fashion, waste and air quality, to help them deliver climate action within their schools.
One student said, "I enjoyed collaborating with schools and hearing from other students in Camden with similar aims and goals for sustainability".

Join Camden Town Unlimited for the Camden Green Loop Launch - Wed 30 Nov, 6 - 8.30pm
Camden Town Unlimited are launching a new map with Footways to celebrate walking routes, green spaces and cultural destinations in Camden.
The map helps to deliver on the 'Camden Green Loop' initiative, a neighbourhood strategy that places good public realm design at the heart of Camden, whereby communities are more interconnected with their surrounding areas.
Local businesses and community groups have helped to shape the missions and identity of the initiative to date and the launch event will encourage a continuation of discussions around what future neighbourhoods could and should look like.
The evening will consist of a panel discussion as well as an opportunity to network with local businesses and residents.
Reserve your space for free here.
