Certification as a Green Business will require a business to submit an application
involving an initial self-audit to assess compliance with required and recommended
certification practices established for that business sector. These certification
practices shall address waste reduction, energy conservation, water conservation,
pollution prevention, transportation, communication and education, and carbon footprint
savings, as applicable. The Program shall provide reference guides to assist businesses
in the performance of self-audits.
After receipt of an application with a completed self-audit, the Program team shall
conduct an onsite assessment to confirm the accuracy of the self-audit, which may
include requests for the business to provide supporting documentation. A business
will only be certified as a Green Business if it is in compliance with all required
practices, meets the minimum thresholds and standards of the Green Business Certification
Program, and is in compliance with all applicable local, state and federal regulations.
In addition, a certified business will also receive a total scoring based upon the
number of required and recommended practices it satisfies.
