Registrations are now closed.

In this interactive breakfast session taking place at London Zoo, we will demystify the complex language around net zero and unpack the terminology around sustainability.

Held in partnership with Westminster City Council, the Summer Showcase is the flagship event of the Sustainable City Charter programme. It is a chance to celebrate signatories’ successes in reducing their operational carbon and helping Westminster become a net zero city by 2040.

Attendees will hear from Westminster City Council’s Cabinet Member for Climate Action, Ecology, Culture and Air Quality, Cllr Ryan Jude, as well as network with peers, share best practice and take part in a series of themed roundtables led by property experts.

All attendees will have access to London Zoo after the event. Further speakers to be announced.

Date: Monday 23 June
Time: 8:00am – 10:00am
Location: Prince Albert Gate, Regents Building, London Zoo, Outer Circle, NW1 4RY

This event is open to WPA members, Sustainable City Charter signatories and businesses in Westminster.

The Sustainable City Charter is a free, climate action pledge and is a collaborative initiative led by Westminster City Council and the Westminster Property Association.

Since its inception in 2022 the Charter has grown to a network of well over 100 signatories, comprising of like-minded organisations who represent just over 20% of commercial floor space across Westminster. To find out more visit the website here.
