Carbon Credit Environmental Services works to make business greener in Detroit

Another TechTown company is making its name as a leader in alternative energy. Carbon Credit Environmental Services is an evolution of the life work of its president, Mike Dolkowski.

He has more than 30 years of experience dealing with environmental issues, starting with recycling. Today Carbon Credit Environmental Services specializes in making businesses greener, providing things like energy audits and pairing companies and events with local and global projects that help offset their carbon footprint.

The 2-year-old company started with three employees and has doubled that count to six today. It hopes to grow to 25 staff members by the end of next year and 50-60 people by the end of the decade.

The company sees a bright future in helping other firms make their impact on the environment carbon neutral. It is working on projects at home, including with the Friends of Belle Isle, and across the world, with things like the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
