Linden House recognises both the imperative and the opportunity in responding to the global challenges of climate change and securing environmental sustainability acknowledging that rapid and urgent action is needed across all sectors of society. Our goal is to help raise awareness of climate change and public health issues which affect us all and to ensure that sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.

We believe we have a role in demonstrating environmental leadership through championing best practice and amplifying responses that will facilitate a transition to an environmentally sustainable future

By being well place in the Community, the London Corinthian Trust, housed in Linden House, is well placed to influence the environmental agenda within the Sailing, Rowing and Social Membership Programs.
