About this event

Join ECO Canada for a half day for “Climate Action Adaptation by Small and Medium Businesses: Opportunities for Emission Reduction”

Canada has established ambitious emissions reduction targets, aiming for a 40-45% reduction by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050. Small and Medium businesses, responsible for roughly 30% of Canada's emissions, are pivotal in achieving these goals. The City of Calgary aligns its targets with the national agenda to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.

ECO Canada is actively collaborating with businesses to enhance their operational efficiency, reduce emissions, and subsequently decrease carbon taxes. This approach, coined "Transition to Green," not only aligns with environmental objectives but also makes strong business sense by lowering operational costs and minimizing environmental impact.

To delve deeper into these crucial matters, we invite you to join us on October 4th at the Kahanoff Centre in Calgary, starting at 8:30 am until Noon MT. This event will feature a series of expert discussions centered around Greenhouse Gas management, as well as the challenges and opportunities for emission reduction specifically tailored for Small and Medium Businesses.
