Energy & Sustainability

The WCA has outlined and is advocating for recommended policies and transitional incentives to help businesses in our region bridge the gap between traditional energy sources and a carbon free economy.

The WCA has partnered with Pace University’s Energy and Climate Center to curate this dynamic searchable guide to available clean energy programs and incentives for businesses in Westchester and the surrounding region. Use the portal to easily access the range of programs and resources (financial and otherwise) available to help transition your business or building to a low carbon footprint.

Sustainability in business is not just about climate change. It’s about corporate social responsibility and institutionalized fairness. It’s about utilizing available resources with maximum efficiency and minimal waste. Most importantly, it’s about developing a long-term strategic business model for innovation, profitability and enduring success. The WCA has partnered with Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business to provide an on-line course in organizational sustainability for working professionals. The WCA’s goal is to train thought leaders with the necessary analytical tools to originate, market, and lead sustainability initiatives in a variety of professional contexts.

To foster understanding about the state's energy future and available resources for businesses and organizations, the WCA is convening experts from NYSERDA, NYPA, Con Edison, Sustainable Westchester and other local organizations, to host virtual informational events and webinars.
