ABOUT CBC
The Cleantech Business Coalition (CBC) is a volunteer organization made up of business owners, employees, and other interested persons, to promote cleantech businesses and jobs and their contribution to sustainable living and climate stability. Our members range from photo-voltaic solar installers to bankers, whose products, services, and/or practices emphasize energy savings and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We are local as well as national companies spanning the spectrum from new college graduates to experienced CEO’s.
The CBC agenda is non-political and non-partisan, focused on promoting Cleantech business and job growth and supporting public education in sustainable practices and climate change in the Grand Valley. We believe that Cleantech businesses enhance the over-all economy and supports a healthy sustainable community and help reduce our carbon footprint.
