ClimateReadyVT was created by Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility and Reframe Lab
in Fall 2023 in response to the increasingly urgent need for climate resilience programming that is accessible for small Vermont businesses and empowers them to grow from being reactive to proactive in the face of climate adaptation.
Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility (VBSR) is a statewide, nonprofit business association with a mission to leverage the power of business for positive social and environmental impact. For over 30 years VBSR has championed “business as a force for good” through education, networking, advocacy and thought leadership.
We are Vermont’s network of students, entrepreneurs, sole proprietors, small businesses, largest employers, policymakers, advocates, nonprofit organizations and inspired individuals – collectively working toward a just, thriving and transformative economy that works for all people and the planet.
ClimateReadyVT is co-hosted by Efficiency Vermont, which helps business and residents reduce their energy bills by incorporating practical, energy-saving measures through incentives, technical assistance, and other support. As the nation’s first energy efficiency utility, they're helping Vermont transition to a more affordable and cleaner future. Their work has helped Vermonters achieve more than $3.3 billion in lifetime savings through efficiency investments and avoided more than 14.1 million metric tons of greenhouse gases. They work with partners throughout the state to save customers money, strengthen the state’s economy, lower emissions, and support the state's clean energy workforce.

Thank you to our venue hosts:
Just a short 30-minute drive from downtown Burlington and Lake Champlain. At Bolton Valley the recreational opportunities at your doorstep are as numerous as the views are spectacular.
Bolton Valley is a beautiful place with a fun welcoming community, and it sits right in the heart of North Central Vermont. There is truly no other place like it. With the recent expansion and renovation of the Timberline Lodge, Bolton Valley is a perfect destination for any type of group gathering. On site catering and onsite lodging complete a productive and enjoyable experience.
