We are proud to have made our SME Climate Hub Commitment!
Thames Laboratories is serious about the climate emergency, which is why we’ve signed up for the SME Climate Hub Commitment.

We want to curb emissions and gain a competitive edge by halving greenhouse gas emissions and reach net-zero before 2030!


The SME Climate Hub seeks to support millions of small and medium-sized enterprises to take climate action, build business resilience and gain a competitive advantage. The SME Climate Hub encourages SMEs to take immediate action to halve greenhouse gas emissions before 2030 and reaching net-zero emissions before 2050.


The commitment gives businesses like us access to a range of practical tools, knowledge, and best practice resources to future-proof the business. The SME Climate Hub also works in partnership with Oxford University and has managed to create over 500 tools and resources to offer SMEs that will help them to future-proof their business.

Did you know:

SMEs makeup 90% of businesses worldwide and employ over 2 billion people.

Climate change is a threat to SMEs and with 40% to 60% of small businesses never reopening after a disaster, building resilience has never been so important.

By registering, Thames Laboratories will be recognised by the United Nations Race to Zero campaign, which gives us visibility in the community and with our clients – YOU could do the same.

Being part of the SME Climate Hub community offers collaborative and commercial opportunities to grow the business and to be a leading brand, as market trends shift to a low-carbon economy.
