Welcome to the Springfield Area Green Business Leadership Program ! This is a recognition program that encourages area businesses, institutions and organizations to integrate environmentally sustainable practices throughout their facilities, operations, culture and products.
The goal of the recognition program is to promote a wide range of sustainable practices, including waste reduction, energy efficiency, water conservation, renewable energy and green purchasing. These practices not only benefit the environment, but are also good for the bottom line.
The Green Business Program offers three levels of participation: BRONZE, SILVER and GOLD. Your business or institution may enroll at any recognition level – each with its own prescribed environmental sustainability requirements. You may remain at that level or apply for higher recognition at any time.
The benefits of becoming a Green Business Leadership Program member include:
The program is open to all types of businesses, institutions or organizations, including manufacturing, retail and office businesses; services industries; health care facilities; educational institutions; local and state governments; congregations and non-profit organizations. There is no cost to join and participation is simple.
