BP case 1 Climate +
Climate and environment network for businesses
Green Business, Climate + is Copenhagen's network for
companies that voluntarily work with the climate and
environment.
Their ambition is to do environmental work easy,
relevant, business-oriented and fun.
There are no demands on specific goals for being member
of Climate+ and use the membership in branding the
members. The municipality have opted not to control the
involved business, but instead they offer a variety of tools
to help the members of the Climate+ initiative. They have
not created specific tools but they promote existing tools
on their website in order to help the members, they have
created controls-list that aims specifically towards the
different target groups in the various businesses. These
lists are created to help the members to understand
where they typically can take action that promotes the
green agenda.
BP case 2 Project Zero: Zero-Store
Sønderborg municipality area's own brand: green climate
in shop windows and the interest of making green
procurement is increasing.
Zero shop's future climate mark
The goal is to get as many stores as possible with as zero
stores. Shops must be a showcase for the area's efforts
on climate change, and climate effort, customers and
visitors will be reminded that here in the area, we make a
difference. As Zero shop includes your company in a
strong and high profile network that also includes leading
companies in the company and zero ZEROambassador
programs.
How do we store zero?
You can be zero-shop if you focus on energy and carry
out the replacements and renovations for the climate,
which pays back in less than two years. There are a lot
of.
