The Bay Area Green Business Program verifies that businesses meet higher standards
of environmental performance. Our partnership of government agencies and utilities
helps local businesses comply with all environmental regulations and take actions to
conserve resources, prevent pollution, and minimize waste. We offer motivated
businesses and agencies an easy-to-use framework for improving environmental
performance. Over 1,000 businesses and
public agencies have been certified since 1997.
The Program was developed by Bay Area local governments in collaboration with US EPA,
Cal EPA Department of Toxic Substances Control and the business community.
The Association of Bay Area Governments
coordinates the Program, which is implemented by Green
Business Coordinators in 9 participating counties. The regional and local
programs are funded by their partners, including local and regional government
agencies, utilities, special districts and nonprofit organizations that promote
environmental compliance, pollution prevention and resource conservation. Some
funding also comes from government and non-profit foundation grants.
