Denver (January 12, 2026): The Colorado Green Business Network, within the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, is inviting Colorado businesses to join an upcoming kickoff event to learn about the network and how they can gain access to funding resources, a support system, mentorship, technical assistance, and statewide recognition.
The network will host the hybrid kickoff event on February 3 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the CSU Spur in Denver. Register to attend this free event in person or online. The department encourages interested businesses to join and apply to join the network by June 30.
“The number of businesses engaged in our program has been growing exponentially. Colorado businesses care deeply about the state they work in,” said Rayna Oliker, Manager of the Colorado Green Business Network. “The network helps Colorado businesses reduce energy, water, and fuel use every year by providing them with tools and resources that balance the unique needs of our members with the lessons learned from others in the network. We have developed long-term relationships with our current members, and we’re eager to work with new businesses this year.”
The Colorado Green Business Network community represents businesses across the state, large and small, that implement unique and inspiring projects to reduce their environmental impact. Through free off-site and on-site coaching and support, the network helps businesses track energy and resource usage, prioritize opportunities for efficiency, and implement conservation measures such as LED technology and equipment upgrades. Additionally, the program recognizes businesses that demonstrate leadership in reducing their carbon footprint while connecting them to a statewide community of like-minded organizations.
Getting started is simple. Businesses new to resource reduction and efficiency can register at the “Support Level” to connect with the network and receive a free opportunity assessment. To begin, register on the GreenBiz tracker and complete the welcome survey. Businesses interested in statewide recognition for their sustainability achievements can submit an application through the GreenBiz tracker on the Colorado Green Business Network recognition webpage. Applications for recognition are due by June 30 each year.
