Emma co founded D.A.S. Concrete Countertops to offer long lasting products that cut waste and help clients choose lower impact materials.
Through Green Economy New Brunswick, Emma and her team are measuring their emissions and identifying practical steps to reduce their footprint, from energy efficient equipment to smarter material choices. They see climate action as part of being a responsible local business and an opportunity to stand out in a competitive design market.
For Emma, climate action shows up in how D.A.S. sources materials, manages offcuts, and works with clients to choose solutions that will last. Joining Green Economy New Brunswick gives the business a framework to track progress and tell a clear story about the changes they are making.
“I like to feel passionate about where I spend my time. With work being such a large chunk of our lives, I knew that if I was working towards reducing the impact of climate change in some way, shape or form, then I would be fulfilled by my job.”

Emma encourages other small business owners to view sustainability as a way to align their operations, products, and community impact. Even modest changes can add up when they are part of a larger plan grounded in good data and clear goals.
