Business as a force for good

How London’s employers, educators and leaders are playing their part in responding to the Covid-19 crisis

We’ve been sharing asks with the Government and setting out what should come next. We have focused on three critical areas:

The Government has taken bold, decisive action, but it should act to stop people falling through the cracks

The Government should closely monitor the transition from the furlough scheme to the Winter Economy Plan and take additional targeted action to support sectors struggling to remain afloat

While public health and short-term measures are rightly front of mind, we need to plan ahead 

The Government should demonstrate that it has the plans in place to get the economy back on its feet as soon as restrictions can be lifted

So much has been achieved but more could be done to make sure recovery is joined up

We’re part of the Mayor’s Recovery and the Government’s Transition board, directly contributing the views of London businesses: now is the time share lessons across UK cities and to learn from other global experiences
