The Business of Sustainability

Photos : ThameWey
ThamesWey is an independent limited company with a single shareholder in Woking Borough Council .
It was set up in 1999 to deliver on the council ’ s strategic objectives which , at the time , were mainly focused on tackling climate change through carbon reduction . Those environmental priorities have since evolved into the Woking 2050 strategy which places sustainability at the heart of broader efforts to meet the demands of development and the local economy .
This means that ThamesWey can deliver on sustainability commitments in ways that purely commercial companies can ’ t , while having the freedom to compete in open markets . The result is high quality projects that fund further sustainability work and provide a source of revenue for Woking Borough Council that helps keep important services running .
ThamesWey has found that delivering public benefit for communities is good business .
