What’s a Green Business?
Green businesses operate in ways that solve, rather than cause, both environmental and social problems. These businesses adopt principles, policies, and practices that improve the quality of life for their customers, their employees, communities, and the environment. Let’s make our great community one of our nation’s leaders!!!

What are some of the characteristics of Green Businesses?
Using business as a tool for social change. “Values-driven,” not simply profit-driven. Socially and environmentally responsible in the way they source, manufacture, market their products, and run their offices. Committed to and employing extraordinary and innovative practices that benefit workers, communities, customers, and the environment.

Can’t we do this on our own?
Absolutely, but we can get you there quicker and more efficiently, all while saving you money in the long run. As city, state and federal regulations grow, how do you stay ahead of these ever-increasing regulations and mandates? Oddly, no one really seems to have the answers although they constantly pressure businesses to Go Green.

What does earning Green Business Certification mean?
Earning your Green Business Certified status is the first of many advantages with our system. Local and national identification as a Green Business is something that will add to your credibility at every level. This is not a “Buy a Membership” program. You will earn it, and it will have the kind of substance that demands respect.

How much will this cost me?
Each company and situation is unique but we pride ourselves on being affordable and practical for businesses of all sizes and needs. We’re here to make this affordable, fun and beneficial for your business and community. How many times can you say that in business these days?

Can we learn from what other companies are doing to go green?
Our program allows for quarterly meetings that provide Green Business Training, and a chance to meet and socialize with other Green Businesses. Green programs have often been anti-business; but without a partnership with the business community, no Green Program can succeed. We work on integrating quality information to area businesses and forming a superior network of business leaders.

What about the products my business currently uses?
The industry buzz is about the importance of the Green Supply Chain, which puts a serious emphasis on what products your company buys and what services it employs. Unless these companies are Green Business certified, their claims for Green may be little more than “Greenwashing” and hype. Is your janitorial service Green certified? Do other firms supplying yours recycle? Do they have a Green purchasing protocol? What are they doing to work with sustainable resources? Are they wastefully using paper products? In the end, all these things matter.
