“As a Green Wedge Shire, Nillumbik Shire Council is acutely aware of the multiple threats facing all communities and ecosystems as a result of climate change. This requires urgent action by all levels of government, including local government. Council has declared a Climate Emergency, commits to a climate emergency response, and is proactively integrating climate change mitigation and adaptation into Council actions.”*

Welcome to the latest instalment of "Your Business is our Business - Sustainability Edition," where we explore the proactive steps Nillumbik businesses can take to champion climate change mitigation. While we focus on key business sectors within the Shire, the principles we discuss are versatile and can be applied to most business types.

Embracing sustainable resources and implementing innovative recycling and waste reduction measures isn't just about environmental stewardship; it's a strategic move that can enhance both the profitability and reputation of your business.

Your Business is our Business is hosted by small business advocate Karyn Harte of The Buzz.
