Integrating the economy and the environment

We help businesses and other organisations stay competitive and successful by helping them to become more responsible corporate citizens, reducing their impact on the local and global environment and increasing their links with the local community. We offer training and advice and carry out reviews and audits, often as a way of helping companies and organisations adopt environmental management systems. We also support business communities by helping them improve their practices, their premises and the local environment at the same time, either on business parks or through ‘business improvement districts’.

Groundwork Thames Valley values its relationship with the business community and provides specialist services to help businesses across the area meet and exceed their environmental, social and community responsibilities.

We do this by:

helping businesses improve their environmental performance, and
encouraging and supporting businesses to play an active role in their local community.
