The Colchester Regional Development Agency has been recognized with a provincial award for its leadership skills on the environmental front.
“The Environmental Excellence in Business Award” is given to Nova Scotia companies who show environmental leadership. CoRDA is one of the first non-profit agencies to be recognized with the honour.
Becoming “green” also saves money for companies based in Debert and the rest of the Colchester Region. That’s because CoRDA’s Business Sustainability Coordinator Ericka Wicks offers free energy audits to all members of the Colchester business community, showing them how to increase profits by lessening their environmental footprints. |
