Our Work

We focus on five core strategic themes: Cleaning and Greening, Community Safety and Business Resilience, Destination, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and Placemaking.

Each programme is guided by our board, which is made up of representatives from a variety of sectors within the BID area and supported by targeted steering groups. If your business is interested in being represented on a Whitehall steering group contact us here.

Cleaning and Greening

Cleaning and Greening

 

Our Cleaning and Greening programme delivers projects that keep the open spaces of Whitehall clean and inviting for businesses. Through collaboration with Westminster City Council (WCC) our street team works to enhance the footprint daily to provide a nicer place to work, live and visit.

Community Safety and Business Resilience

Community Safety and Business Resilience

The Community Safety and Business Resilience programme brings businesses and police services together to ensure best practices. We have established a range of initiatives in response to business requirements, working with the police, local authority, private security teams and other key stakeholders to provide free training opportunities to members, disseminate important information to our community and reduce crime and anti-social behaviour.

Destination Destination

Destination

 

Destination promotes Whitehall as a world-class destination in London. We work with our business partners to actively promote the historic and cultural assets Whitehall has and the various experiences it offers, celebrating the area with events, marketing campaigns and joint initiatives.

Environmental, Social and Governance

Environmental, Social and Governance

Environmental, Social and Governance incorporates the principles of sustainability into the organisation’s programmes and projects: economic, environmental and social. Large and small businesses are increasingly adopting Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) principles – economic, environmental and social – to create sustainable business models. We seek to promote an appealing business environment in Whitehall that fosters long-term sustainable economic growth and the improved wellbeing of employees, visitors and residents.

Placemaking

Placemaking

 

Placemaking refers to publicly accessible streets and open spaces between buildings. Currently, traffic, vehicle and pedestrian congestion dominate our everyday experiences. We implement our own innovative public realm projects to enhance the Whitehall area, with projects undertaken throughout the BID term.
