Sustainable Business

We stop pollution at the source by working proactively with business and regulatory agencies to solve problems through cooperation, rather than litigation.

• Auto Recycling uses pragmatic stakeholder education and partnerships to reduce the environmental impact of the millions of cars that end their useful life every year in California.
• Brake Pad Partnership works collaboratively with industry, stormwater managers, water quality regulators and other environmental groups to understand whether wear debris from car brakes is contributing to urban runoff water quality problems. This program is a model for how emerging environmental issues can be addressed by working together rather than fighting in the courtroom.
• Invasive Plants Project works with diverse stakeholders to prevent the sale of invasive plants that harm ecosystems.

Sustainable Conservation partners with business, agriculture and government leaders to find practical ways that the private sector can protect clean air, clean water and healthy ecosystems.
