Small businesses looking to take climate action now have a database connecting them with solutions for clean energy, carbon neutral shipping, sustainable office supplies, food waste solutions, and more.
Intuit, a carbon neutral company itself, has a corporate goal to reduce 2 million metric tons of CO2 from the atmosphere by 2030. Intuit recognizes that no matter the scale, climate commitments require planning to implement. In their work with small businesses of all kinds, Intuit discovered that having centralized, trusted resources available makes taking action easier for business owners.
As part of their carbon neutrality efforts, Intuit has developed a Climate Action Marketplace to help small businesses reduce their carbon footprint and reach their climate commitments. Tradewater is proud to be joined by 11 other founding partners who make up this marketplace.
