Measure Meant

Did you know that you do not have to be a B Corp to join B Local PDX events? I haven't always been clear on that myself, so in case you were in the same boat - now you know! I am excited to parter on this HYBRID event to help companies get up to speed on measuring emissions and creating a climate plan. If you aren't clear on how your company will meet the new B Corp Climate standards, or you want to create a comprehensive climate plan, this session is for you. We would love to see you on May 16th!

We are encouraged that companies like REI are requiring their vendors to calculate their greenhouse gas emissions, set reduction targets, and create a climate plan. We also know that this is overwhelming for many companies, particularly smaller companies, who have not yet started this work. While I think REI did a great thing in putting on informational webinars, they are proving to not be enough support. If your company is preparing to meet the climate requirements of your customers, please hear it from us that this work does not have to be overwhelming. While of course we promote striving for increasingly better data, you can get started by estimating your emissions. Your company can get actionable insights without spending tens of thousands of dollars.
