The Worshipful Company of Builders’ Merchants (WCoBM) has become a member of the Livery Climate Action Group — an initiative set up in 2021 and inspired by the City of London Corporation’s Climate Action Strategy.
The strategy aims for the City to be net zero by 2040; for buildings, public spaces and infrastructure to be resilient to climate change; and for people in the City and beyond to benefit from a clean, green and safe environment. Accordingly, the Group encourages City Livery Companies to grow their knowledge and expertise in the practical measures they can take towards a sustainable, adaptable and resilient future whilst providing a platform for them to contribute to the Climate Action Strategy.
WCoBM Master Andy Williamson said: “This is a significant development for our Livery Company and supports our objectives, and those of the merchanting industry, to strive for a more sustainable and green future. We are fortunate to represent a sector where we can draw on many great examples of environmental best practice, which is why three years ago we introduced our ‘Caring for the Environment Award’ to our annual City & Awards Luncheon.”
