Sustainability in the Spotlight: Green Business Ingenuity
New Orleans is home to a vibrant community of entrepreneurs who drive innovation and create jobs. As an initiative of the Urban Conservancy, at StayLocal we’ve witnessed the power of local ideas fostering economic growth time and again. From green infrastructure companies to biodegradable products, our local businesses not only meet market demands but also champion sustainability.
We’ve launched Sustainability Spotlight, a campaign highlighting local businesses that prioritize both entrepreneurship and environmental conservation. StayLocal is shining a spotlight on those businesses engaged in:
collecting and repurposing materials like glass bottles and oyster shells
participating in composting programs
reducing plastic waste

In fall of 2024, we’ll bring business owners curious about improving sustainability in their businesses together with successful sustainable innovators for dynamic B2B workshops. Those business owners who identify as-yet unmet sustainability goals will be offered toolkits and connected with local service providers in order to further their efforts to do so.
Empowering Businesses for a Greener Tomorrow
Together with our partners at GREEN Hospitality, StayLocal is empowering businesses as part of our 2024 Small Business Sustainability Accelerator. The accelerator supports business owners working toward a greener future in both Hong Kong and New Orleans, and emphasizes the role that independent business owners play as initiators of change in communities.
