Core offering

Green Business Action is a London-based charity that provides free sustainability advice, energy audits, and decarbonisation support to micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) across all 32 London boroughs. Its services include one-to-one advisory consultations, on-site energy and resource audits, structured regional programmes (Better Futures, Hackney Impact, Tower Hamlets Energy Reduction Programme), and an online learning platform with sustainability training courses.

Product overview

Green Business Action operates as a single unified service offering free sustainability advice and energy audits to London MSMEs. The core offering is the Better Futures programme, which provides energy assessments, bespoke advice, grants, and a learning platform. Two locality-specific sub-brands — Hackney Impact and Tower Hamlets Energy Reduction Programme — tailor the same core service to businesses in those boroughs.
