Why go e2?
What is the e2 Business Program?
Salt Lake City’s e2 Business program is dedicated to
helping Salt Lake’s business community run in a more
environmentally and economically sustainable manner. Nearing 100
members, the e2 Business program is an excellent way for
like-minded businesses from all sectors to share ideas, make
connections and receive advice from Salt Lake City’s staff
experts.
Why is environmental and economic sustainability
important?
By making changes in your everyday business practices, not only
can you relieve some of the pressure your business puts on the
environment, but your business can reduce operation costs and
become more competitive.
How will e2 Business benefit my business?
e2 Business Program will help you locate areas in your operation
to increase efficiency and decrease environmental impact. Target
areas for efficiency improvement include energy usage, water
usage and waste generation. All three of these are costly for
any business and provide opportunities to realize significant
savings very quickly. As an e2 Business member you will receive:
- Assistance from Salt Lake City staff who will identify
opportunities to reduce overall operating costs and address each of these impact areas.
- Support from member businesses in your sector that have
been successful in reducing their impact and have
volunteered to assist new businesses in doing the same.
- Networking opportunities during e2 Business events.
