Climate Smart Chambers Webinar

Description

National carbon pricing is expected to arrive in Canada in 2018. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) must start thinking about carbon costs the same way they think about labour, energy or the other costs of doing business. Managing this new cost line well will lead to a competitive advantage. Managing it poorly can hurt the bottom line and leave opportunities on the table.

Many SMEs will face a significant learning curve on how to manage these costs effectively. The Richmond Hill Board of Trade are offering their members the change to participate in the Climate Smart Chambers program, a national initiative from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce to help SMEs make some green by going green. Through this program, we hope to help chamber SME members save a total of $2.5 million in costs, all while reducing emissions the equivalent to planting 160,000 trees.

The Richmond Hill Board of Trade is offering members an hour-long webinar with Michelle Bonner, Vice President and Training Manager of Climate Smart Businesses (https://climatesmartbusiness.com/). Climate Smart Businesses’ award-winning tools and training program helps SMEs measure and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Climate Smart Team will share a decade’s worth of insight on how to reduce emissions in a way that not only helps the environment, but your small business’ bottom line.
