WHAT IS A CERTIFIED GREEN BUSINESS
People. Planet. Profit.
Being a Certified Green Business is the clearest way to show your community and customers that you care about sustainability. It shows them that you are committed to taking action to conserve resources and prevent pollution in both the facility and operations. It means that your business complies with environmental regulations in the areas of waste, energy, water, pollution prevention, and air quality.
What is Green Business Certification?
Customers increasingly want to patronize businesses that are doing their part for the environment. Green Businesses implement practices that save valuable resources and fight climate change, leading to cost savings in energy, water, and reduced waste. Using less or non-toxic products benefits staff members and customers.
Green businesses assess how efficient their operations are, including water and energy use, transportation to their facilities, prevention or elimination of toxic chemicals, use of sustainable cleaning products, recycling and waste reduction, and purchasing products from local businesses and suppliers.
