LOCAL CLIMATE ACTION INNOVATION FUND TO HELP WHISTLER CHAMBER MEMBERS ACCESS CLIMATE SMART TRAINING

• Want to reduce energy costs for your business?
• Want to do more to fight climate change?
• Interested in ‘brand lift’ over your competition?

Climate Smart is a comprehensive, business case-based training that takes enterprises through the process of creating a greenhouse gas emissions inventory and developing effective energy & emissions reduction strategies with a focus on cost savings and brand lift.  It is designed to provide you with the tools to become more competitive in an era of carbon regulation and volatile energy prices.

With the support of the Whistler Chamber of Commerce, and through funding made available through the new local Climate Action Innovation Fund, registration for two staff to attend three workshops, access to the easy-to-use web tool, and four hours of one-on-one hotline help is now available to Chamber members for only $500 (regular price: $1,500).

Looking for ROI? Climate Smart data shows that for the average participating business, meeting the Provincial GHG emission reduction target (33% below 2007 levels by 2020) would represent an average annual reduction in energy expenditures of more than $2,000.
