The Government of British Columbia wants to equip small and medium-sized businesses and organizations with the tools and knowledge to profitably reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. That's why it's sponsoring 20 scholarships for Ecotrust Canada's Climate Smart program. Scholarships are valued at $1,500 each.
Please submit your entry for the Climate Smart Contest, below.
Join a group of 10-15 enterprises for three, half-day workshops over 10 weeks run by climate change experts experienced in advising small and medium-sized businesses and organizations.
Climate Smart is comprehensive, business case-based training that will help your firm create a greenhouse gas emissions inventory and identify reduction strategies with a focus on cost savings and brand lift. It is designed to train key staff and provide you with the tools to become more competitive in an era of carbon regulation and volatile energy prices.
The program also provides four hours of one-on-one technical support to assist companies and to carry out a final review and approval of the inventory.
Over 100 companies and organizations have been trained so far, representing over 37,000 tonnes of inventoried greenhouse gases, with an average first-year reduction target of almost 10 per cent.
Winning firms will be chosen through a random draw and will be profiled on the LiveSmart BC website upon completion of the Climate Smart program. Winners will be expected to attend all three workshops and to carry out the necessary data-gathering efforts to prepare their greenhouse gas emissions inventory.
