A Certified Green Consultant^TM will work with you to achieve the specific goals tailored for your type of business. The fact is, we can't use the exact specifications for a law firm as we would for a waste management company, so we audit your company to figure out what changes can be implemented immediately and what goals we can put in place for the months to come through research, necessity as well as the Green Management Guide. Our assessment services include a physical inspection, analysis and recommended improvements, as well as detailed reports of findings and recommendations by the Certified Green Consultant.

The Green Management Guide is a monthly newsletter that has approximately 12 suggestions per issue for new green practices for your business. And implementing these changes you will earn points toward your certification, with the initial goal of 100 points to earn your silver level certification—and eventually to Gold then Platinum.

By implementing these changes recommended by your Certified Green Consultant, as well as the goals that come each month as a part of the Green Management Guide, you will be able to achieve these goals at a comfortable pace. When you have a consultant in place to work with you to implement these goals, it will definitely make your life easier. When you have ideas or questions and don't have time to research, that's what we're there for. Need a local printer ink recycling program? We will do the legwork to get that in place. Do you have a supply chain issue? We will do the research to find a green supplier, which in turn will give you points due to greening your supply chain. Our philosophy is "Buy Green, Hire Green."

This all will come back to you as savings. A healthier workplace results in less sick days and your employees won't be as lethargic and run off to get their 3pm coffee. Greening up your workplace and supply chain will also help push you far ahead of the competition. Basically, if a supplier of yours is going this direction, and you're not, you could lose that business. Even retail giant Wal-Mart is forcing the issue by asking its producers to rethink their shipping and manufacturing processes to reduce waste and create smaller packaging, all at the risk of losing their biggest buyer.

The best part of going green and getting your Green Business Certification now is that some companies won't have the time to wait for their supply partner to make the transition, and will have to make a choice then and there, leaving them with only one option: you.
