Have you ever had to research a business or company and saw a Better Business Bureau plaque on the wall or website and felt comfortable because you knew a credible source had already done the work for you? Well, that is what we are achieving with the Green Business Certification. We are taking the guesswork away from figuring out who is really green and who is merely greenwashing.

More and more companies are latching on to the idea of green and adding "eco" or "green" or "natural" to their products or services, but in reality they are still just as harmful to the environment as they were before because there is no regulation in place. Positioning a brand as environmentally friendly only works if it's true, and if word gets out that it's not, the PR backlash could be disastrous.

With a Green Certification, you will be demonstrating to your customers and clients that you are not just saying you are green because it sounds good, you are actually proving how committed you really are. And this is the difference maker. This is the shift in consumer awareness, where their personal commitment to the environment will affect their purchasing habits—from grocery stores to cleaning products and dry cleaning.

The Green Business Certification gives you the edge, plain and simple. If a consumer had three companies offering the same service for the same price, the green-conscious company will win this battle every time. If you care about the environment, they will believe you care just as much about them, and that is what makes the difference.

How you win:

• Create a healthier working environment for you and your employees
• Retain and attract top talent and reduce the costs of training and hiring
