Sustainable Local Economy

Greenprint for Hackney

Our vision is a borough whose residents can earn their living, buy what they need and do most of their shopping locally. These needs are met by local companies, particularly co-operatives and social enterprises, who reinvest in the community and are sustainable.


Our work

  • We supported the development of Hackney's first energy co-op through our involvement in Hackney Energy
  • We supported the development of a town centre plan for Dalston
  • We created a map of local green businesses
  • We developed a vision for a sustainable local economy - the Greenprint for Hackney 

Greenprint for Hackney

  • Support local businesses - increase the share of small businesses and
    community ownership in the local economy.

  • Green local businesses - support the mentoring of local businesses in
    sustainable business practices.

  • London Living Wage - ensure all Council contractors, including voluntary
    sector providers and partners such as the North London Waste Authority,
    pay the London Living Wage, and encourage local businesses to do the
    same.

    the environmental sector: recycling, energy efficiency, reuse and green
