The Green Economy London team is thrilled to share that Green Project Support is back to help Green Economy London members implement sustainability projects at their facilities. This year, we’re offering one $5,000 incentive and three $3,000 incentives. 

One $3,000 incentive will be allocated to directly support a water conservation and efficiency project such as a water audit, low-flow bathroom fixture upgrade, etc. The other incentives will be allocated to projects relating to any of the four target areas: GHG emissions reduction, waste reduction/diversion, water conservation, environmental stewardship, or to be used for a consultant, audit, or study.
