3. The Client.
City of Indianapolis, Office of Sustainability
We believe in collective impact and that sustainability starts with action. We believe
small steps add up, and that to make big change happen, even bigger actions are
needed. So we work both ends: helping individuals learn how to curb their carbon while
working with corporations and government to improve our environment. From Knozone
action days to electric vehicles, we are protecting our region’s future together.
Key Funders:
Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT)
Bloomberg Philanthropies, American Cities Climate Challenge (ACCC)
