What Can
Businesses Do?

Business-as-usual is not addressing society’s challenges

  • Socially minded entrepreneurs and organizations are contributing to the greater good in whatever ways we can and choose.
  • Some create quality jobs, some foster healthier environments, some build stronger communities, and some tackle societal issues.
  • Some seek to buy from responsible companies, work for organizations with shared-value mentality, do business with companies that show they care.
  • With society’s infinite challenges and goals, it’s imperative for businesses to take on some responsibility and lead endeavors when we can.

  • At least 24 jurisdictions in the Tampa Bay area formed the Tampa Bay Regional Resiliency Coalition to coordinate climate adaptation and mitigation activities across county lines, to advance local and regional responses to and preparations for economic and social disruption due to climate change effects.
  • See the St Pete’s Mayor’s Executive Order on Sustainability & Resiliency
