The Sustainable Business Clearinghouse was created to provide U.S. companies with a central portal for information on programs and resources that can assist them in enhancing their competitiveness and profitability in environmentally sustainable ways.

The Department of Commerce has started by collecting information on Federal-level government programs/resources in this searchable clearinghouse.  We plan to expand the clearinghouse to include state-level resources, and we encourage state government programs, or firms that receive state-sponsored services, to contact us with information on these programs.

If you know of a federal or state government site that you feel should be included in the clearinghouse or if you have any comments or questions, please email us here.

Click here for instructions on how to use the clearinghouse.

Don’t know where to start? In addition to the clearinghouse, we maintain a list of key federal programs and resources that support sustainable business practices here.
