Business and Enterprise

The Royal Borough's economy is characterised by the number of small and unique businesses, with over three quarters of businesses employing fewer than five employees and only 2 per cent employing more than 50. However, we are also home to some flagship business brands and renowned commercial centres.

These pages include information on doing business in the borough and where to find help to grow and succeed.

Greening Business

Businesses in Kensington and Chelsea now have access to a free consultation and up to twelve hours of support from a qualified, professional Greening Business Adviser, thanks to the Greening Business programme, which is funded by the European Regional Development Fund.

The programme includes:

a review of your premises, including your energy and waste management
an action plan designed to help you green your business whilst saving money on water, transport, utilities and consumables
on-going support from a Greening Business Adviser to assist you to implement your action plan
help with developing an environmental policy
information and advice on local suppliers and recycling resources
referrals to other organisations helping you connect with green suppliers and other sources of publicly funded support
providing advice on UK and international green marks including ISO14001, Carbon Trust and the new energy efficiency standard (BS EN 16001)

The Council has partnered with five other boroughs, Workspace Group PLC, Groundwork London and the Merton Chamber of Commerce to secure this service for local businesses.
