Mayor Buddy Dyer and the City of Orlando are proud to introduce Green Works Business, an educational program designed to provide the Orlando business community with comprehensive best practices in sustainability.

The program’s first workshop in October featured a presentation on how sustainability in business is influencing the marketplace, a panel discussion comprised of businesses that have started their journey towards sustainability and an introduction to resources that will provide businesses with a framework for getting started.

Members of the business community are invited to join the Green Works Business program, participate in the workshops and pledge to start, or further their journey towards adopting environmentally-sound business practices.

Commercial Business Owners

The seven point challenge, started by the Building Owners and Managers Association, recognizes that energy consumption in commercial buildings accounts for 18 percent of US Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. The Community Energy Challenge is the first step towards a community-wide green house gas reduction. Responsible building operating and management practices can significantly reduce energy consumption, diminish a building’s carbon footprint, and thus lower GHG emissions.

Sign the pledge and take the Seven Point Challenge.
