Creating a Framework for Sustainable Business Practices

Nch’ḵaỷ plays a key role in creating a framework for sustainable business practices in the Squamish Nation. By establishing guidelines and support systems, we make it easier for businesses to adopt eco-friendly operations. This framework serves as a roadmap, outlining simple steps that businesses can follow to reduce their impact on the environment.

We start by helping businesses identify areas where they can improve sustainability. This involves assessing energy use, waste management, and other key operations. By pinpointing these areas, businesses can prioritize changes that offer the greatest environmental benefits.

Key aspects of the framework include:

– Energy Efficiency: Encouraging businesses to use energy-efficient tools and technologies helps reduce consumption and costs.

– Waste Reduction: Implementing recycling and composting programs minimizes waste sent to landfills, promoting a circular economy.

– Sustainable Sourcing: Advising companies to choose eco-friendly materials ensures that products are sustainable from start to finish.

Although adopting these practices may require initial effort, they lead to long-term benefits for businesses and the community. By supporting this shift, Nch’ḵaỷ ensures that progress goes hand-in-hand with environmental care.
