Monterey Bay Area Green Business Program
The Monterey Bay Area Green Business Program is a partnership of environmental agencies and concerned public working together to promote businesses that operate in an environmentally friendly manner.
Overview
The Monterey Bay Area Green Business Program is a successful partnership of environmental agencies, utilities and nonprofit organizations that assist, recognize and promote businesses and government agencies that volunteer to operate in a more environmentally responsible way. To be certified “green,” participants must be in compliance with all regulations and meet program standards for conserving resources, preventing pollution and minimizing waste. We offer motivated businesses and agencies an easy-to-use framework for improving environmental performance.
Goal
The goal of our incentive and assistance programs is to help local businesses conserve energy, water, minimize waste, prevent pollution, and shrink their carbon footprints, while saving on their utility bills and gaining new customers.
Impact
The program serves the Monterey Bay Area Region and is a part of the California Green Business Network. Since 2004 the program has assisted over 1,000 local businesses to green their practices and promotes over 300 businesses who have current certifications.
