Partnership Offers Personalized Green Business Certification
GBB & Green Irene Partner to Provide In-Person Energy Audits-
The Green Business Bureau (GBB) and Green Irene LLC have recently partnered to create an all-inclusive audited green business certification program that will offer the expertise of local Eco-Consultants to help GBB members achieve certification, coupled with on-site commercial audits to establish ongoing eligibility. “We’re thrilled that this agreement adds Green Irene’s national network of well-trained Eco-Consultants to our existing arsenal of green business certification tools and that we can offer our members more personalized assistance on their path to going green,” said Marcos Cordero, GBB CEO and co-founder. “Green Business Bureau offers its members an innovative, web-based system of initiatives a business can undertake on its path to greening its operations. Green Irene provides the largest national network of well-trained Eco-Consultants who help local businesses reduce operating costs, create a healthier workplace for their employees, and attract green-minded customers and business partners,” said PJ Stafford, co-founder of Green Irene. “Together, we now offer a comprehensive, in-person audited green business certification.” The GBB program, combined with Green Irene’s in-person green office revamping service, will offer members a more thorough and efficient consultation with the benefits and strengths of both companies. “We will still offer our basic service, but Green Irene’s expert Eco-Consultants allow us to add much deeper premium services to our members,” said Cordero. The Premium Green Business Bureau Certification will integrate the present GBB service with a personal consultation with one of Green Irene’s Eco-Consultants and infinite access to “Ask Green Irene” – an internet database of the most efficient green technologies and professional green researchers who provide personalized support in aiding companies to achieve more sustainable business operations. The GBB and Green Irene green business certification program is available by visiting GBB.GreenIrene.com.













Well, good luck to Green Business Bureau and Green Irene for their unified certification program. I wonder how it will fit into the sustainability world, since LEED is basically the industry standard. I commend all organizations who have created their own certification programs; it shows that they are doing their part. I just wonder how successful it will be, against LEED.
