Sustainable Office Certification

The Sustainable Office Program is a point-based, voluntary assessment tool that offices can use to examine their current practices, identify opportunities to improve sustainability performance, and get recognized for your efforts.

Through this assessment, offices will examine practices related to energy and water consumption, waste generation, purchasing practices, travel choices, and wellbeing. There is also an opportunity for innovation credits. Certification levels are Bronze, Silver, and Gold.

Gold

70% - 100%

Silver

50% - 69%

Bronze

30% - 49%
