Climate Smart training is a business strategy.
A really good one.

What is Climate Smart Certification?

Climate Smart Certification is an award-winning training program that helps small and medium businesses in every industry create a greenhouse gas inventory, then devise a GHG emissions reduction plan to take action and make change.

Over the course of 4 to 6 months, we will guide you from “How do we start?” to “Wow, we have a solid plan, real data, and support to achieve our carbon goals!”

See How It Works

Climate Smart helped us to identify the waste and inefficiencies within our business in terms of energy and also materials. This helped build an optimal implementation plan that is practical yet still leaves room for us to be aspirational.
