Information for Businesses

Businesses are the foundation of the work we are trying to accomplish, without them we have nothing to offer our community. If you think your business or a business you know might fit in with this community please read below for more information. 

​

What we want to see in our businesses...

Business standards are always a complex conversation, we want to make it easier for people to be involved in our bigger picture. Our standards are based on what we want to see out of the larger community, not just what we want businesses to be able to do. These ideals are what we look for in business as opposed to a quantifiable goal that can lead to some businesses “not being good enough” when they have just as much to offer, if not more in some cases. What you bring to our community is defined by you, but here are some general ideas to get you thinking. 


Ethical to Individuals
 

Our goal is to create a network of businesses that strive to incorporate and meet the needs of the individual. This can come in all shapes and sizes from offering discounts, payment plans, cooperation to work with individuals, giving back to organizations/ communities/ individuals, ensuring fair and livable wages, promoting work-life balance, or even if your company inherently works to improve individual welfare.

Working for the Environment

​Environmental destruction continues to increase with large corporations and we want to combat that trend. We strive to support businesses that prioritize environmental protection, rejuvenation, and/or restoration. Your efforts can be within your practice such as adding composting options to your office, swapping out for energy efficient appliances, reducing printing, or even swapping to selling more eco-conscious products. Perhaps your entire business is in the environmental realm- composting, recycling, protecting biodiversity, reducing environmental pollutants and disruptions, regenerative farming and agriculture, or other environmental focused services. 


Community Focused
 

An integral part of this project is creating a community. Anyone wishing to join needs to be excited for a growing community. While there isn’t too much required of our businesses, the more involved businesses we have, the grandeur the impact we can make within our city. We would love to have businesses that are excited to help us connect to more individuals and more businesses so that we can continue to develop the community. We also want to promote better community focus outside of our project but rather for the individuals who support your business and the others of the community, this is the community we truly want to build and support through our growth.

What being Involved looks like...

Businesses who want to be part of EcoCommunity Albuquerque have very little required of them. Since our primary mission right now is to create a web-based resources map, we primarily need to talk to you about what you are doing for individuals, the environment, the community, or anything else you feel makes you a great addition to this community. We also need your general business information to be added with the listing for ease of our users. If you want to help grow our community then the only thing left would be spreading the word to your customers, friends, family, and other businesses around you to be involved as businesses or individuals. 

What a listing will include...

Our web-based resources map is intended to be a one stop informational location for anyone learning about your business for the first time. This map will include basic business information such as the company name, hours, phone number, website, as well as information you provide about why you joined the community. Our goal is to also include photos of your business that we feel individuals would enjoy seeing before visiting for the first time.

Benefits of joining the community...

This project is in a lot of ways a test to see how well businesses and individuals can band together to learn more about themselves, their communities, and themselves. By joining the community, we plan to expose you to new audiences and individuals, thus hopefully bringing in new business and opportunities to your company. You also will spread the information about your push to be more individual, environmentally, and community focused as a business. As an individual, we are proud to say you would be added to a community of like minded business owners whom you can connect with, interact with, and hopefully build a community amongst for everyone’s mutual benefit and enjoyment. You also can join the individuals who will utilize the map to simply find businesses that meet their individual needs and desires.
