ECOSS can help your business implement sustainable practices that are better for the environment and your bottom line. ECOSS works with small and medium-sized businesses, including those with staff members who speak English as a second language. Our services are free and confidential and can assist you through one or all the four steps of conducting a carbon footprint on your business.
Assistance with Step 1: Take Stock and Get Support
ECOSS can walk you through the Seattle Climate Partnership Carbon footprint calculator. This tool acts as your baseline to see cost and resource savings. This tool uses local utilities and transportation data, and is ideal for small to medium size businesses in King County.

Assistance with Step 2: Set Goals
ECOSS can help your business set goals that fit your specific business plan. We go over examples of what other businesses are doing to reduce their footprint and save money.
Assistance with Step 3:
Create an Action Plan and Implement Changes
ECOSS can work with your business to create an action plan that locates free or discounted incentives and will work with you to implement “low hanging fruit” and locate the highest return of investment from your action plan. ECOSS helps you look at your energy, water, waste and transportation options that works with your business and reduces your carbon footprint.
Assistance with Step 4:
Communicate Success and Reassess your Progress
ECOSS can help recognize your successes and provide you the opportunity to discuss your experience with the community and other businesses through networking events and partner media outlets. |
