Two Leading Organizations Launch ClimateBiz.com, A Free, Online Business Resource On Climate Management

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., and WASHINGTON, D.C. - Two leading organizations have launched ClimateBiz.com, a free Web site to help companies address climate change in a way that aligns environmental responsibility with business success.

ClimateBiz.com, a partnership between Business for Social Responsibility and Green Business Network, is designed to help companies understand the underlying issues behind climate change, assess their climate footprint, and devise and implement a plan to reduce their climate impacts throughout their operations and supply chains.

The site is organized into eight topics, reflecting the process most companies go through in addressing climate -- from making the business case to measuring, reducing, and offsetting climate impacts to receiving recognition. Each topic contains backgrounders, listings of helpful organizations and government programs, tools and resources, leadership practices, and related news stories. ClimateBiz.com is funded by grants from U.S. EPA ClimateLeaders and RR Donnelley & Sons.

“Climate change is one of the most important environmental and financial issues facing companies worldwide,” said Bob Dunn, CEO & President, Business for Social Responsibility. ”This convenient Web site was designed to help busy business managers tackle the corporate responsibility of managing climate protection.”

“ClimateBiz.com will bring companies the same sharp tools and quick information access that has made our GreenBiz.com such a success,” said Kevin J. Coyle, president of the National Environmental Education & Training Foundation (NEETF), which houses Green Business Network. "We know it will be a major resource for business and other leaders seeking to responsibly address climate impacts."

The site will be updated regularly, with news and new resources added on a weekly basis. Users can keep up to date through a free electronic newsletter, ClimateBiz News.
