Green Business Program

Understand your Environmental Impact. Strengthen your Business.

econext is seeking Newfoundland and Labrador businesses that want to better understand their environmental impact and access tailored support with actionable environmental insights that drive growth and efficiency. econext is working with these businesses across the province to quantify environmental impacts by helping them assess greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, analyze energy efficiency and/or audit waste in their operations.

Following these assessments, econext will provide advice and steps tailored to your business directly that can make your operations more efficient, and help improve competitiveness and productivity in the marketplace.

Contribution

With funding from the Department of Jobs, Growth and Rural Development and the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, econext is pleased to be covering 75% of the cost of assessments.
