"Cool Green
Biz" Roanoke Valley
Cool Cities Coalition and the Roanoke Regional Chamber of Commerce
are collaborating on a green business certification program for
Chamber members who meet certain criteria. The name of the program
is "Cool Green Biz", signifying that "Green" is the new "Cool", and
that the Roanoke business community is on the program! The
checklist for certification was developed by Cool Cities, and we are
also responsible for evaluating the applications. The
Chamber has program documents on their web site (Chamber Cool Green Biz page ). The certification process is open to all Chamber members. The
Chamber will issue attractive window stickers for qualifying
businesses, and give recognition to certified companies through
their web site and publications. Roanoke's Clean and
Green Business Coalition Takes the Lead on Corporate Environmental
Standards
How Does Your
Business Stack Up? If you'd like to rate your
own business or organization, you can download the Cool Cities Green
Business Checklist. This self-test document does not lead to
any official certification (if you want that, we recommend you check
out the Chamber of Commerce program above). The items on this
checklist are nearly identical to those used in the Chamber
program. |
