The Business Pledge
The Whatcom Watersheds Business Pledge helps Whatcom
County businesses prevent pollution to their watersheds.
(click here to see
our brochure-534kb). Businesses that adopt some
of the pollution prevention practices we recommend receive
an attractive pledge plaque to display in their store or office,
recognition in local publications and access to additional incentives.
Since the program's inception in 1998, Pledge
staff have provided voluntary technical assistance to
nearly 600
businesses throughout Whatcom County. In the Spring of 2004 we
surveyed Pledge businesses to
see how they felt about the program, and evaluated their
progress in implementing pollution prevention practices. You can read the results on our
survey page.
The Business Pledge program
now offers Pledge businesses the opportunity to recertify.
Additional assistance and recognition is provided
to businesses that renew their commitment to protecting
local watersheds.

businesses that have recently taken the Pledge or
recertified within the past year please click

If you have a business in Whatcom County and would like to
participate in the Business Pledge program, or are already a Pledge
business and would like to recertify,
please call Sustainable Connections at (360) 647-7093
and ask for Cathy Lehman. |
