Our vision for more sustainable businesses

The Mayor has been clear that London’s recovery from the pandemic must lead to a cleaner, fairer, more equal city with a renewed drive to tackle the climate and ecological emergencies, whilst also creating good quality jobs.

This includes a commitment to make London net zero by 2030.

The Mayor is working with London's businesses to help step up the fight against climate change, by supporting projects that will boost green jobs and tackle air pollution and the climate emergency.


What is Better Futures?

For the past 7 years, the Better Futures programme has supported London’s drive to achieve Net Zero by 2030. 

Better Futures wants London to be a beacon of cleantech, low carbon and resource efficient industry. And we want to reward carbon cutting businesses.  

We're providing support to eligible SMEs across the capital, who are seeking to innovate, grow and create jobs, promote diversity, bring new low carbon solutions to market and contribute towards helping to reduce London’s greenhouse gas emissions.
