Your helpful guide to becoming a Sustainable Business!
This Resource Guide has been created by the Sacramento Area Sustainable Business Program and Sacramento County’s Business Environmental Resource Center (BERC) as a companion to the Sustainable Business Program checklists and is designed to help businesses find the resources necessary to make environmentally-friendly changes in their operations. The Sustainable Business Program encourages changes in business practices that not only reduce impacts to our environment and public health, but can save businesses money in operating expenses.
This Guide is helpful for any business interested in lessening their impact on the environment through changes to their business practices. The resources listed on the following pages are grouped into five categories: energy conservation, pollution prevention, solid waste reduction, water conservation, and green building. Contacts for vendors and sources of information, equipment, supplies, and services are provided for your convenience only. The Sacramento Area Sustainable Business Program and/or BERC does not endorse any of the listed products or services, or attempt to verify the accuracy of information provided by these contacts. An effort was made while compiling this information to provide both local and national sources of assistance. For more information on the program, please see the Sustainable Business Program’s website SacramentoAreaSustainableBusiness.org or call (916) 874-2100.
“The Sacramento Area Sustainable Business Program promotes businesses that take voluntary action to prevent pollution and conserve resources.”
