Sustainable Pittsburgh Shop Designation Program
Are you a business owner who cares about sustainability? Studies show that more and more consumers prefer shopping with environmentally and socially-conscious businesses. Sustainable Pittsburgh Shop offers a FREE self-assessment that assists businesses in achieving their sustainability goals. We believe when you implement actions that are good for the environment and neighbors, it is good for your bottom line as well.
Getting involved is easy! Simply complete the online Sustainable Shop assessment and we will get back to you with your results and walk with you as you continue down the path to progress.
