The Green Business Certification is awarded to businesses that are:

• Actively using their business as a tool for positive social change;
• Operating a "values-driven" enterprise according to principles of social justice AND environmental sustainability;
• Environmentally responsible in the way they source, manufacture, and market their products and run their operations and facilities;

• Accountable for their work by continually improving and tracking their progress, and operating with radical transparency in every facet of their business.

Green America recognizes businesses as they make greater progress by awarding Bronze, Silver, and Gold certification levels.
