Greenwich Green Investment: Over half a million invested into driving climate action

We're celebrating over half a million investment to driving positive climate action 

The Royal Borough of Greenwich is proud to announce the successful raising of £562,000 investment to support climate action initiatives across the borough.  

This milestone, part of our Greenwich Green Investment scheme, is possible thanks to the incredible support of investors who share our commitment to a greener, more sustainable future. 

The scheme allowed residents and organisations to make a positive environmental impact while earning a 4% return, reflecting the council's commitment to tackling the climate crisis and achieving net-zero emissions. 

A council spokesperson said: "We are deeply grateful to all our investors for believing in this pioneering initiative and their overwhelming support that raised more than half a million.  

“Their trust and commitment demonstrates the power of collective action in addressing the climate crisis, and how empowering local residents and businesses to take meaningful climate action can help delivering cleaner, greener energy solutions for generations to come." 

The money raised will be directed towards transformative projects, including the installation of solar panels on council buildings, schools and the Oxleas Wood Cafe, improving energy efficiency across our streets, and expanding renewable energy opportunities for our communities. 

We wanted to raise £1 million by the end of 2025 and we are already more than half way there. Would you like to stay informed about future investment opportunities? Sign up to our email newsletter and follow us on WhatsApp.
