Invest In Your Business & Save Money By Enrolling in Marin County's Free Green Business Program

7/5/2023

Picture
As we head into summer, now is a great time to invest in your business via the county's Marin Green Business Program. 

It's a free, voluntary certification program that recognizes and promotes businesses committed to sustainable practices. 
​But most importantly, the program provides streamlined environmental assistance, improved operations through innovations and a wide range of money-saving opportunities, including:

  • Demonstrate continuous compliance with applicable environmental regulations
  • Conserve energy, water, and other materials
  • Implement sound environmental practices that prevent pollution and waste generation
  • Share environmentally responsible practices with other businesses in our community​

Take Tam Junction's Good Earth Natural Foods as an example. The store is widely known for 
its inventory of more than 95% of their groceries being organic. 

But when they built Good Earth in Tam Junction, the owners achieved an overall recyclable diversion (waste) rate of 80% (Marin county requires 50%). All of the tile used in the store is 70% recycled, locally sourced clay materials with over 50% post consumer waste. All lighting in the store uses a control system that utilizes day lighting zones and motion detectors. All light fixtures in the store are LED controllable through an energy management system. 

The county's program provides technical assistance and resources to help you implement sustainable practices that will reduce waste, conserve energy and water, improve air quality, and enhance your overall operational efficiency.

Businesses in more than 20 different industries, including auto repair shops, printers, hotels, restaurants, landscapers, wineries, janitorial and laundry services, grocery and retail stores, home remodelers, attorneys, architects, engineers, gift services, and a variety of office and home-based businesses, have successfully met the standards and are now recognized as California Green Businesses. Use the links below to learn more about guidelines for:
  • Auto Repair
  • Hotels
  • Landscapers
  • Printers
  • Remodelers
  • Restaurants
  • All Other Businesses

Certified Green Businesses get a listing in the statewide Green Business Directory, as well as access to the program logo and marketing assets, so you can let your community know that you share their concern about the environment.

Since launching in 2002, the program has certified over 400 Marin businesses from a wide range of industries, including retail, restaurants, hospitality, manufacturing, professional services, and even home-based businesses.

Ready to take the next step toward a greener local economy? Register here to get your certification process started today.

There are more than 3,500 certified Green Businesses located in the state.
​CHECK THEM OUT HERE AND JOIN THEM!!


Green Business promotions work! Current and new customers will see your business in an earth-friendly, positive light. The Green Business Program will promote your: Environmental Responsibility, Good Business Practices and Community Concern.

This article challenged my preconceived notions about the subject. It's well-written and thoughtfully argued. The logical flow of the author's arguments is impressive, and the inclusion of counterarguments allows for a more balanced and nuanced discussion.
