Breadcrumb Home About us What we do Sustainability Sustainability At OPDC, sustainability is central to how we plan, invest, design and deliver regeneration. As one of the capital’s largest Opportunity Areas, Old Oak and Park Royal has a critical role to play in supporting the Mayor of London’s ambition for a net zero carbon London by 2030, while creating long term environmental, social, and economic value for local communities and businesses. Sustainability Charter Our Sustainability Charter sets out our vision for regeneration that creates lasting environmental, social, and economic value for West London. It goes beyond environmental action. It is about creating a place that empowers communities, improves wellbeing, enhances biodiversity and supports the local economy through inclusive growth. From co-designed public spaces and local business support, to pioneering low-carbon heat networks, circular economy initiatives and nature-based improvements along the Grand Union Canal, the Charter provides a framework that connects strategic ambition with local impact. Download the charter Our approach Our approach is shaped by three core pledges. Leading on climate action, working with partners to reduce carbon emissions, expand renewable and low carbon energy, and support a circular economy. Creating a resilient, connected and thriving place, designing neighbourhoods that are healthy, climate resilient, walkable, well connected, and integrated with green and blue infrastructure. Empowering communities and young people, supporting inclusion, local leadership, skills, social value and opportunities for people who live, work and study in the area.
