Central Indiana is home to nearly 50% of Indiana's largest public and private companies. And with a workforce of more than 900,000, voluntary commitments made by the business community to implement clean air strategies will go a long way to positively impact the quality of the air we all breathe.

Keeping the air clean in central Indiana not only affects our overall quality of life, it may also impact your bottom line. Increased levels of ground-level ozone (smog) and fine particles (soot) can negatively affect the health of your employees. By adopting voluntary clean air policies, employee productivity and morale may increase and health care costs may decrease.

More importantly, when central Indiana stays below federal standards for air pollution, costly mandates on business and industry that might discourage expansion or relocation are avoided.

Show your employees and your clients that you care about their health and the environment by taking an active interest in the Knozone program. Your participation can help ensure that central Indiana remains a great place to live, work and play. After all, clean air is everyone's business!
