The GreeNWAy Initiative is a program and certification process that identifies, assesses, and certifies businesses that perform business the “green way”. Its purpose is to help Chamber Businesses implement the best practices in order to become more sustainable and efficient. GreeNWAy works to bridge the gap between programs such as LEED, which is often unattainable for small businesses and non-profits due to significant implementation and upfront cost barriers, while maintaining the necessary third-party certification. This work provides validity and credibility to a business’s green efforts. Through this program, a business is independently audited in six categories: energy, education, people, purchasing, waste, and water. These six categories will examine how the business operates on a daily basis, as well as the efficiency of the building design and potential improvements. | |
