The Growing Green Business Network supports the creation of a business ecosystem to develop customers, market opportunities, and technical assistance to BIPOC-led industrial and manufacturing firms, with a special focus on small business opportunities in the green economy. The Collaborative is informed by a Sustainability Advisory Council, a group of majority-BIPOC local business leaders and experts in the sector.
