Green Tiger’s main activities and projects
The Green Tiger is a representative organization that unites over 80 Estonian companies. We believe that a joint and coordinated green leap has a greater impact on society than steps taken alone. The idea of the representative organization of the Green Tiger is to share knowledge and tools to implement sustainable changes and to provide a collaborative platform for sharing experiences, successes and lessons learned.
Road maps
To reach a balanced economy, Green Tiger prepares roadmaps in five different areas.
The Energy Roadmap and the Construction Roadmap have already been completed, and the Transportation, Circular Economy and Land Use Roadmap will be completed by the beginning of 2025.
The roadmaps are industry-specific practical guidelines for making changes. The creation of the roadmaps involves companies operating in the sector, professional associations, researchers and state representatives. Roadmaps are work tools created for the state to use: for example, some of the points outlined in the Construction Roadmap were also included in the Estonian government’s coalition agreement.
Development Report
In order to monitor the progress of Green Tiger’s activities, we prepare a development report every year. It is the voice of the Green Tiger member organizations, the aggregator of the social order, the definer of a balanced economy and the unifier of sectors, and a tool for all parties to successfully complete the green revolution. In the development report, we gather articles by various authors that help make sense of the journey of creating a balanced economic model for Estonia.
The Green Tiger Academy
The Green Tiger Academy is a management competence development program for companies and organizations that want to implement green innovation in their organization. The four-month intensive training program has been created in cooperation with accredited universities and offers participants a reliable atmosphere to go through all the practical steps to reduce the environmental impact of their company and create new value.
Membership in the leading group for the development of the Climate Act
The Green Tiger is part of the group to develop the Estonian Climate Act. The Green Tiger participates in lawmaking by expressing our input based on the forementioned road maps and the progress book.
The importance of Green Tiger’s role is emphasized by the fact that the climate act’s leading group includes 20 members, only four of them, including Green Tiger, not being from the public sector. Green Tiger is among the limited number of partners who are able to express the opinion of their members and make the voice of the private sector heard.
Annual Summaries
