Sustainability West Midlands (SWM) was established in 2002 as an independent, not-for-profit organisation.
We strive to make the West Midlands region more sustainable, fairer and greener for all. Our vision is that the West Midlands is leading in contributing to the national target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 whilst addressing health inequality and driving inclusive growth. This is framed through our Roadmap to 2030. We have over 150 diverse members who are leading individuals and organisations in the private, public, and third sectors including large businesses like Arup, Mott MacDonald, National Express, Severn Trent, Tarmac and Veolia.
