Businesses who achieve this accomplishment go above and beyond to combat climate change by greening their business operations as much as possible, and receive additional advertising benefits and recognition from CAGBN for reaching Innovator level. Be sure to contact your local coordinator to find out how your business can be an Innovator too!
