The Canadian government and all four Atlantic provinces have committed to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 at the latest. The transition to net-zero will impact all businesses, not just large emitters.  

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will face higher costs for transportation, heating and electricity. They will need to consider changes to their transportation fleet, buildings and how they produce. In addition to government policies, SMEs are starting to face pressures to prepare for net-zero from their supply chain, investors and employees.   

This webinar discusses how the transition to net-zero will affect your business and what you can do about it.  

Program

Lana Asaff, Senior Economist, Atlantic Economic Council, provides an overview of how government climate measures will affect SMEs. She also explains what else will drive firms to make changes and investments to improve their environmental footprint.

Other Atlantic businesses share their experiences with investments to reduce their carbon footprint.
