New DEC Small Business Program: Sustainable Business Navigator

Attention Small Businesses! Have you always wanted to attract new customers and cut costs by making sustainability part of your brand? New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is here to help with their newly launched Small Business Navigator (SBN) Program. SBN provides fast, free, and impactful advice to help small businesses (less than 100 employees) meet their sustainability and cost cutting goals. Businesses that participate in the program have a free one-hour conversation with DEC’s sustainability experts on topics that matter to them. Since one size doesn’t fit all, what sustainability topics the business wants to talk about are up to them. They can include:  

·         Waste reduction 

·         Energy efficiency 

·         Toxics use reduction 

·         Buying and using greener products 

·         Staff training and engagement 

·         Sustainable transportation and logistics 

·         Water conservation 

·         Marketing your sustainability achievements to reach new customers; 

·         And more 

DEC staff that assist small businesses through this program are non-regulatory staff that only speak to businesses about non-regulatory matters. Want to participate? Fill out the registration form on the SBN webpage
