Ongoing

The King's Cross Business Action Group (KXBAG) was established in 2006 with the coming together of 10 companies, all with an interest in the long term regeneration of the King's Cross area. These companies were King's Cross Central, Arup, BAM, Carillion, EDF Energy, Grant Thornton, Herbert Smith, KIER, Munro & Forster and WSP.

Supported by Camden Council and Business in the Community, the KXBAG work to make an impact in four areas: education, enterprise, employment and the environment. A total of 29 collaborative projects have been developed and delivered in the King's Cross area by KXBAG companies.

Since 2006, the membership and format of this group have evolved. It currently operates as a networking forum of CSR practitioners delivering projects in King's Cross. Members are encouraged to work with one or more members to develop collaborative projects and to deliver at least one project a year. Current members include King's Cross Central, Arup, BAM, Carillion, EDF Energy, KIER, and WSP. A number of our projects have been delivered in partnership with KXBAG members.
