The Pledge for a Sustainable
Community is a comprehensive
online resource developed by the
Burnaby Board of Trade, whose goal
is to help businesses large and small
reduce their carbon footprint while
at the same time promoting their
companies.
Program participants have access
to valuable resources, tips and case
studies to help them create a more
sustainable workplace, and are
given the opportunity to share their
successes, serve as role models and
pledge to take on new challenges.
Paul Holden, president and
CEO
of the Burnaby Board of Trade, notes
that although the program is still
in its infancy, "the early success
we've enjoyed in engaging with
local businesses has been truly
remarkable. I can't wait to see this
program grow over the coming years."
The Pledge has also earned
accolades since being launched:
the City of Burnaby recently
awarded the
BBOT an Environmental
Star in the category of Business
Stewardship for the development
and implementation of the program,
and in 2015 the International
Chamber of Commerce named
The Pledge one of the top
CSR
programs in the world.
