Sustainability West Midlands Supporting Member

Our members are central to our mission, which is why we’ve introduced three new levels of membership. These tiers offer you the chance to deepen your commitment to sustainability and enjoy enhanced support from SWM.

As an existing member you already understand the benefits of being part of Sustainability West Midlands; from insight and expertise to collaborative opportunities and promotion of your organisation to access a rich and diverse network across the region and beyond.

As a step up from our standard membership, we are introducing the option to upgrade to one of three enhanced Supporting Member packages to further demonstrate your commitment to sustainability, support your journey and enhance your engagement with us.

As an independent not-for-profit, our revenue supports our dedicated focus on making the West Midlands more sustainable, fairer, and greener for all. For over 20 years, we’ve been at the forefront of influencing and supporting both public and private sector organisations in creating a more sustainable future for businesses and communities in the West Midlands.

Becoming a Supporting Member will enable SWM to continue to convene, collaborate and catalyse action through our membership across the region.
