Business Resources

As members of the Antioch Community, we all have a responsibility to be stewards of its economic and natural resources. As a business there are a number of ways in which you can switch to more sustainable practices that will be beneficial to the local community AND your business in the long term. In most cases, adopting resource conserving business practices will help to reduce your eco-footprint while increasing the profits for your business. For example, switching to more energy efficient products will save you money on your utility bill and help reduce pollution.
