What is SJC’s go green business campaign?
The objective of this campaign is to build a robust network of local businesses interested in environmentalism while also meeting their business goals. This program aims to encourage the community to implement green initiatives such as reducing energy and streamlining waste.
We are partnering up with small and medium sized businesses in Jersey City to share SJC's Green Business Surveys which will collect and analyze current eco-practices to share back as learning opportunity to practioners.
To share your experiences, please fill out the below surveys:
We will use these insights to gauge the current state of the business community's sustainability efforts to help us understand how we can offer resources and help the business sector build momentum in their green journey !
These findings will also fuel the discussion at SJC’s Go Green Business Forum this Spring 2021 that will focus on networking and sharing best practices while also spotlighting small and medium size businesses who are actively greening their companies 👍 Save The Date - Tues May 4th 6:30pm ! Register here!
