Helping Pennsylvania Small Businesses with their Environmental Concerns
EMAP provides free, confidential assistance to small businesses across the state of Pennsylvania. Our environmental specialists can provide one-on-one consulting.
Whether you’re looking to improve your compliance with local and federal regulations, or to increase the efficiency of your small business by reducing energy or cutting pollution, ultimately the result should be a better impact on the environment and a ‘greener’ bottom line for you.
Every small business has many opportunities to improve their operations to reduce carbon emissions, reduce pollution, eliminate costly waste, and produce an enhanced product or service. At EMAP, we support small businesses across Pennsylvania by making environmental compliance easier to understand and manage. We also work with businesses to prevent pollution, reduce waste, and explore practical ways to operate more sustainably.
