Green Volusia is inviting local businesses to join a free online webinar to learn about its Business Recognition Program designed to recognize companies for their environmental sustainability efforts. The webinar, titled Green Volusia Business Recognition Program Deep Dive, will take place from 9 to 10 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 4.
This info-packed session will provide an inside look at how businesses can earn recognition by reducing waste, conserving water, and improving energy efficiency. Attendees will receive practical guidance on simple, yet impactful, steps to lower operating costs while positively impacting the environment.
The Green Volusia Business Recognition Program requires participating businesses to:
- Attend four educational sessions covering sustainability, reporting requirements, and other relevant topics
- Implement at least 12 best management practices related to energy efficiency, waste reduction and landfill diversion, and water conservation
- Schedule a site visit for audits on energy, waste, and water consumption conducted by Green Volusia staff
- Commit to yearly tracking and reporting of environmental metrics
Qualifying businesses will receive a Green Volusia certificate and logo for display, be featured on the Green Volusia map, and gain access to a free waste assessment and energy audit. The next cohort for the program will begin on Tuesday, Sept. 16. The Sept. 4 webinar offers an opportunity to explore the program in detail and answer any questions from interested businesses.
