Green Business Certification

OED promotes sustainable business practices in collaboration with the Alameda County Green Business Program. The program’s technical assistance and certification process helps businesses implement industry-specific steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and hazardous waste, improve energy efficiency, conserve water, and divert solid waste from the landfill.

Certified businesses:

• gain a marketing edge with environmentally conscious consumers
• improve employee health, morale and productivity
• minimize their environmental impact
• decrease operating costs.
