Sign Up Now to Build a Stronger, More Sustainable Business in 2025
Charleston, SC – October 17, 2024 – Emerger Strategies, a leader in sustainability consulting and education, is excited to announce the launch of its 2025 Sustainability Boot Camps, designed to help businesses of all sizes embrace sustainable practices, reduce their carbon footprints, and thrive in today’s eco-conscious market. Registration is now open for the exclusive boot camps, which will kick off in January 2025.
The Emerger Strategies Sustainability Boot Camps offer a practical, hands-on approach to measuring and improving your company’s social, environmental, and economic performance. Over the course of the boot camp, participants will learn the business case for sustainability, earn a sustainability score, collect social and environmental baseline data to measure progress, learn how to measure and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and implement strategies that contribute to both the bottom line and the planet’s well-being.
“As a small business owner, I understand that running a business is tough, and finding the time and resources to incorporate sustainability can feel overwhelming,” said Rick Crawford, Founder of Emerger Strategies. “That’s why we’ve designed these boot camps to simplify the process, and also make it very affordable for small businesses. We’ll guide businesses through every step—from assessing their current practices to proving actionable steps that their company can take to improve their sustainability performance.”

- Activities: The Sustainability Boot Camp isn’t just about sitting in a board room learning about sustainable business! Participants will also get outside by participating in a litter sweep, taking a walking tour of a Charleston RISES certified green building from The Sustainability Institute, and get out in nature on a hiking and/or kayak tour from Coastal Expeditions!
