Why Get Certified?
There has never been a better time to go green! Below are some of the biggest reasons to become a California Green Business Partner.
ITS GREAT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
You’ll be doing your part to fight climate change by saving your company’s valuable resources as well as the environment. Together we can help reduce air pollution by using all natural products to protect from dangerous toxins and learn the appropriate ways to dump waste.
IMPROVE EMPLOYEE WELLNESS AND PRODUCTIVITY
By using less toxic products, staff members benefit. And who in California doesn’t want to work for a cutting edge environmentally-conscious business? Keeping staff healthy keeps production strong.
SAVE MONEY
Green Businesses implement practices that lead to cost savings in energy, water, and garbage bills. Going through the Green Business Program is free and you can get up to $500 in rebates.
