Here's a neat opportunity for local businesses! Thanks Emerger Strategies

Charleston is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change due to our low-lying coastal geography, which is reason enough to reduce your company’s emissions, but did you know that there’s also a very real business case for sustainability?

The challenge is that most small businesses cannot afford to hire full-time sustainability staff, or a sustainability consultant.

That’s why our goal is to provide world-class sustainability consulting at an affordable rate for local businesses!

This level of sustainability consulting is valued at $5,000 and is being offered at an even more affordable rate for members!

We have also lined up some incredible partners for the ES Sustainability Boot Camp, including: and and !!

Space is limited, so reserve your spot today, and let’s protect what we love, together!
