Tips for Businesses

Already, more than 1,000 employers throughout the St. Louis region are members of the St. Louis Regional Clean Air Partnership, doing what they can to help inform their employees about our region's air quality and encouraging them to take the steps necessary to reduce emissions. Most employers get involved as participants in the Care about Clean Air campaigns. Depending on the level of interest, some simply serve as a distribution point to share air quality information and tips with their employees, others promote ridesharing alternatives, and a select group have made improving our air quality one of their top priorities and take steps to reduce emissions in every aspect of their business, putting them on the path to becoming true clean air champions for our region.

The Partnership is actively seeking new members, and can work with any size employer, in any industry in the St. Louis region so you can become part of the region's clean air effort. We also are recruiting major St. Louis venues to help encourage their customers to care about clean air.

Take part in the Care About Clean Air campaign

The Care About Clean Air campaign is one of those rare opportunities to improve public health, make a connection to millions of St. Louis' consumers, market your image as a good neighbor and even increase employee morale.
