EDF Inovation Exchange
The Environmental Defense Fund’s Innovation Exchange is designed to help companies starting down the path towards becoming green businesses. They provide a suite of practical yet impactful tools and a dynamic online community of peers, that can help you improve both your company and the planet. Through partnerships with large and small businesses, they have learned about what it takes to create change within a company. Many of the tools and best practices grew out of their work.
In the area of Climate Change, they explain why developing a climate strategy for your business is good for the bottom line, good for stakeholders and a good hedge against future policy implications. See the site for tools, publications, case studies and links to other resources for establishing a climate strategy. Initial steps for any company are captured in what they call the 4 “Cs”: Conserve, Convert, Choose Offsets and Call for Action.
