Sustainability & Climate Action

The Nelson & District Chamber of Commerce has launched a Business & Climate Advisor Program to support local businesses to implement sustainability and climate initiatives.

The purpose of this short survey is to get a sense of the types of sustainability and climate action initiatives being implemented by our business community. The insights from this survey will determine how the Chamber can best support businesses, whether you are looking for a way to get started or are trying to find ways to expand your current sustainability efforts.

This survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. All responses are confidential and your time is much appreciated.

To access business-specific resources that help you develop and implement sustainable business practices, access rebate programs, and learn about the action of other local businesses, please visit the Nelson & District Chamber of Commerce's Sustainability Page.
