Green Business Program

The California Green Business Program is a network of local governments to help companies make the switch to green business practices. Businesses earn a seal of certification from their local city or county by meeting rigorous criteria established by the California Green Business Program.

• Certification criteria developed by DTSC can save your company money on energy, water, and garbage bills.
• A green business seal of certification can give your company a competitive edge.
• Switching to green makes your workplace safer and exposes staff to less hazardous and toxic materials.
