Welcome to The Green Business Alliance

More and more consumers are looking for sustainable options when shopping and dining. 

In 2019, a community survey of consumers local to the Collingswood area showed that: 

• 84% would be more likely to order from restaurants who used sustainable packaging
• 90% ranked sustainable packaging as important.
• 88% would be willing to pay more for sustainable options

Based on the results of that survey, Collingswood Green Team members got together to create a Green Business Alliance here in town. 

The purpose of the Green Business Alliance is to assist businesses in achieving greater sustainability practices in their operations through the implementation of the following Core Greening Principles: 

• SUSTAINABLE FOOD PRACTICES 
• WASTE & POLLUTION REDUCTION 
• WATER CONSERVATION 
• ENERGY EFFICIENCY 
• EMPLOYEE WELLNESS

With so many businesses already incorporating sustainability into their operations, the Green Business Alliance also seeks to facilitate the sharing of ideas and support, recognize businesses for their commitment, and connect local eco-conscious consumers to its members. 

By working together, we can strengthen the local economy, reduce waste, reduce emissions, and improve the overall sustainability of our town. 

 The Collingswood Green Business Alliance is a project of Sustainable Collingswood - The Collingswood Green Team. The project was made possible through a grant from Sustainable Jersey and PSEG with ongoing support from the Borough of Collingswood.
