The Carbon Project is a membership program that provides organizations with the tools and support necessary to measure, manage and reduce an organization’s carbon emissions. The Carbon Project provides members with the benefits of cost savings, employee engagement/retention, brand enhancement and risk mitigation. Membership fees are dependent on the size of the organization (number of employees and number of facilities reported on). The range of annual membership fees is $520 to $5,200.
With membership, organizations get year round support from NSI staff and exclusive access to our Carbon Accounting Tool, Member Portal resources, Season of Events and credible third-party recognition through our website, reports, and events.
Carbon Project members are Niagara’s leaders against Climate Change. Since 2011, Carbon Project members have been taking the lead to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of Climate Change on their businesses and communities. Through improving the sustainability of their operations and facilities, Carbon Project members are acquiring a competitive edge through sustainability as they ensure that their organization is better able to adapt and thrive in the uncertain environmental, economic, and social conditions of the future.
This program provides a platform for leaders to better learn how to reduce their GHG emissions and environmental impacts, while benefiting from increased efficiency and education, no matter their level of expertise in environmental management.
Monthly events keep your organization up-to-date on best practices, sustainability strategies, and tools for implementation. Connect with other organizations in the region and share and learn from each others’ experiences.
