Sustainability Programs: The CHCC Sustainability program work with small businesses and community-based organizations assist in the development and achieve goals that create financial, societal and environmental sustainability. A business impacts communities and resources, so taking these steps to sustainability is in the best interests of the environment, the business owner and the consumer.

The CHCCF works with small businesses to easily scale these practices and implement them in their own organizations through a small business sustainability plan.
