| Case Study
The initial Sustainable Business Leader Program funded by a DEP grant was financially administered by the City of Boston. It provided technical assistance to small and mid-sized businesses in Boston. Twenty-seven businesses were enrolled and guided through the process of assessing sustainability, creating an action plan and finding resources to implement their own action plans. Jen Boudrie directed the successful start up of this program and a small team to help businesses reach their goals.
Evaluate your energy and environmental practices and empower your staff. A good sustainability program provides efficient, hands-on, results-oriented projects and empowered people.
