Groundwork and local businesses

We help local businesses put their corporate responsibility strategies into action by connecting them with communities, reducing their impact on the environment and helping them build social value into their services.

For over four decades, we’ve been working in partnership with businesses in all sectors to help them make a difference on the ground. From major national partnerships to one-off employee volunteering events, we work flexibly with businesses to understand their needs and design programmes that benefit their employees and customers as well as the communities in which they operate. 

Sustainable Business Membership

Groundwork’s Sustainable Business Membership scheme is an easy and effective way for businesses to understand & enhance their sustainability performance.

Our team supports local businesses to reduce their environmental impact and provides opportunities to restore nature, support local community projects and help people into employment.
