Talk to Us about the RCI

Sustainable Waterloo Region’s Regional Carbon Initiative (RCI) facilitates voluntary target-setting and reductions of carbon emissions in organizations across Waterloo Region. Members of the Regional Carbon Initiative plug-in to a community of support — linking like-minded organizations focused on implementing successful and cost-effective projects that result in greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions.

Why Join the Regional Carbon Initiative?

The Regional Carbon Initiative goes beyond green branding to help organizations substantiate their environmental strategies. All RCI services are directed toward enabling organizations in making real reductions in their GHG emissions against a defined baseline and moving organizations to more sustainable operations.

We provide the unique networks, direction, and inspiration for building environmental sustainability into an organization’s culture. While our GHG Services team, event speakers, and RCI resources provide project expertise and technical support, it is through shared learnings and collaboration that RCI members find best practices and inspire one another towards further GHG reductions – and in doing so, create increased competitive advantage.

As members start to implement projects and make notable progress towards their GHG reduction targets, Sustainable Waterloo Region provides credible third-party recognition for these achievements through our year-end report, annual Evening of Recognition, connections to local media, and the Sustainable Waterloo Region website.
