The Green Business Recognition Program acknowledges local businesses who have made substantial efforts in implementing environmentally sustainable practices. Recognition is given to those companies who can display eco-conscious building, food, mobility, and waste diversion choices.
This voluntary program is free and provides businesses with guidance on how to increase the sustainability of their establishment as well as opportunities for peer networking within our city. The Sustainability Division will also host events specifically to promote these business’ efforts. In order to keep your designation, your company must check in annually with the Sustainability Division liaison.
