About GreenBizCheck
GreenBizCheck is a global technology-based environmental certification program for business. We offer environmental certification for offices, retail, IT, food & beverage and recruitment. Our concept helps companies to quickly implement sustainable environmental practices which rapidly increase profits, attract new business, conserve energy, water, resources and minimize waste.
Companies are provided with a 260+ point online assessment with immediate reporting and action planning.
The assessment incorporates the following sections:
- Energy conservation
- Water consumption reduction
- Waste reduction and recycling
- Transportation and travel
- Supply chain sustainability
- General environmental issues
- Voluntary carbon measurement and offsetting
Points are awarded for compliance and implementation of each element of the assessment (questions have varying weightings to reflect their relative importance and impact).
Companies are then given guidance as to the necessary steps to be taken to achieve certification.
