What Aldersgate Group does

Aldersgate Group is a UK-based, politically impartial multi-stakeholder alliance founded in 2007 that convenes large businesses, NGOs, public sector bodies, trade associations, and parliamentarians to advocate for a competitive and environmentally sustainable economy. Its core activity is targeted political engagement, evidence gathering, and policy development across eight policy areas: net zero transition, nature, resource efficiency, smart regulation, green finance, education and skills, trade, and clean growth and jobs. The organisation operates a recurring membership model (legal entity Aldersgate Ltd) with 67 members across 8 industry sectors, founded and headquartered in London at Sustainable Ventures, County Hall. The Group's primary outputs are policy reports, briefings, consultation responses, member-exclusive events (quarterly meetings, webinars, the UK Business Leaders' Summit during London Climate Action Week), and targeted roundtables with figures such as the Climate Change Committee and His Majesty the King. There are no technology products, software platforms, or AI capabilities; revenue is generated exclusively through membership fees paid by members, with retention supported by ongoing policy publication cadence and a steady stream of cross-sector partnerships (e.g., RenewableUK, CPRE, ISEP, Grantham Research Institute, Green Finance Institute, CBI, and the Corporate Leaders Group).
