The Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber’s TacomaACTS program, Citizens for a Healthy Bay’s BEST program, City of Tacoma and Go Local have partnered to form the new Environmental Business Alliance (EB Alliance) so as to leverage the strengths, resources and relationships of each organization. This is a natural partnership, as all strive to enhance the sustainability of businesses throughout Tacoma-Pierce County.

The new Alliance helps businesses with information and assistance regarding sustainable business practices and recognizes the environmental efforts of leading local businesses

TacomaACTS pilot program participants are now recognized as EB Alliance members.
