The BarNET ZERO pledge
Working together to become one of London’s most sustainable boroughs, join us on our journey.
With more than 25,000 registered enterprises in the borough, businesses play a significant role in our net zero goals.The industry and commercial sector represented 12% of Barnet’s total carbon emissions in 2021.
The BarNET ZERO business pledge gives businesses, charities, and community organisations a chance to make a public commitment to tackling climate change and become more sustainable. Businesses can contribute significantly and make a real difference by examining various aspects of their operations. This includes looking at:
- building operations

- waste generation
- packaging goods
- influencing the behaviour of suppliers, staff and customers.
