› SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
WHAT DO THE YWCA, THE ENVIRONMENT AND NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS HAVE IN COMMON?
In 2010, the YWCA was fortunate enough to have the free services of two environmental advisors that measured the organization’s environmental footprint and developed an action plan to reduce it.
Aiming to share its acquired experience and knowledge with other
non-profit organizations, the YWCA launches today its project OrganisACTION: Community Organizations in Action for the
Environment!
