Supporting Local

The O2 delivers significant economic value locally, across London and nationally. In Greenwich alone, it supports 6,760 jobs, generates £700 million in expenditure and contributes £380 million in GVA each year. The venues' impact also extends across neighbouring boroughs and central London through tourism and wage-related spending, with close to £1.5m per annum directed to local sourcing and the surrounding supply chain.

 

Beyond our economic contribution, we are dedicated to making a lasting social impact. In 2025, we delivered over £7.4 million in social value in Greenwich and £12.5 million across London - underlining our commitment as a responsible business in the community.

 

We are proud to partner with Greenwich Local Labour and Business (GLLaB) and Newham Works, helping local people into employment and supporting the GLLaB Trailblazer scheme.

 

We also support a number of local organisations, including Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice, Greenwich Foodbank and London Fire Brigade F.C.
