Chamber NewsMember NewsBusiness/EconomicGovernmentProduct/Service Announcement

DEC is proud to launch the Sustainable Business Navigator (SBN) program.   

SBN provides fast, free, and impactful advice to help small businesses meet their sustainability and cost cutting goals. Businesses that participate in the program have a 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 
Conversations can take place either on location at the business or virtually, depending on business preference and staff availability. 

Eligibility: 
  • Be a business with a location(s) in New York State 
  • Have 100 or fewer employees 
  • Have not participated in the program in the past two years 
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.
