3 Successes
What has your business already done to improve environmental, social and/or economic sustainability? Need ideas? Look at the B-corp best practice guides (

) or the VA Green "Full Certification Application" (

Next Steps
Thanks for staying with us! We are excited to have you on the Coalition.
1. Energy audit and energy tracking
We like our members to get a free energy audit and track their energy usage year to year using a free program called Energy Star Portfolio Manager. This gives us a measure of emissions and costs associated with energy use for the coalition at large. It takes 90 minutes to set up your account and record your baseline data. After that it may take 15 minutes a year to update your energy use. If you prefer we do not help you schedule a time for both the audit and the tracking please indicate it in the comment section.
2. Attend and host quarterly meetings or panel discussions over lunch
The Sustainable Business Coalition meets quarterly in a collaborative and educational fashion. Our members take turns hosting which includes providing snacks or a light lunch. Renew Rocktown takes care of the facilitation and coordination. If you are not able to host please let us know in the comment section. Details about dates and locations will reach you through your email and can be found at
http://renewrocktown.org/harrisonburg-sustainable-business-coalition/
3. Free triple bottom line assessment equipped with best practices and real examples of what other businesses are doing.
We highly encourage our members to spend 90 minutes on the B-corp assessment. The assessment is free and if one wishes to get certified there would be a sliding scale fee. If you do not want us to schedule a time with you to start the b-corp assessment please indicate it in the comment section.
