Palo Alto Business Goes Green
Santa Clara County Green Business Program
The Chamber is encouraging Palo Alto businesses to participate in the Santa Clara County Green Business
Program coordinated by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG).
To be certified as a “Green
Business,” participants must comply with all applicable environmental regulations and then go “above and beyond,”
selecting a specified number of environmental actions from a checklist of standards for conserving
resources, preventing pollution and minimizing waste. The Green Business Program Coordinator conducts
facility audits to confirm adherence to these standards before granting “Green Business” certification, and recertification
occurs every three years. There is no charge to participants to go through the green certification process.
Fourteen Palo Alto businesses have been certified:
- Acterra: Action for a
Sustainable Earth
- Agilent Technologies
- City of Palo Alto
- Common Ground Garden Supply and Education
Center
- Foundation for a Global Community
- Globallinx Network
- Gunn High School
- Minerva Consulting
- Palo Alto Hardware
- Park Avenue Motors
- Roche Palo Alto
- Rosenthal Auto Service
- Stanford Terrace Inn
- Stanford University
