Green Business Incentives

Santa Monica is leading the way in environmentally-friendly development and business practices. The Chamber's partnership with the City of Santa Monica on the annual Sustainable Quality Awards and business greening and certification programs is an innovative and successful approach to encouraging the business community to "go green." The City's Solar Santa Monica program represents a new, ambitious effort that aims to make the City energy self-sustaining by 2020. We support legislation that would provide incentives for businesses and developers to make their operations, especially new construction; energy and resource efficient.
