New York Green Business initiative - apply now

The Department of Environmental Conservation recently launched the New York Green Business program and is accepting applications for it through Friday, December 15th. NYGB is a free and voluntary program that provides recognition and benefits to businesses that have a strong commitment to sustainability.

Businesses that join the program receive recognition from the State, are able to use the program logo to market themselves as a sustainability leader, get priority access to technical assistance from the Pollution Prevention Institute, and access to a network of sustainability leaders. While all businesses can join the program, it does have a separate application and criteria for breweries, garment cleaners, and restaurants to address their unique environmental impacts.

Applications and more information on the program can be found on its website: www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/939.html. DEC also has a fact sheet on the program here.

If you have any questions about the program you can reach out to Brendan Woodruff (brendan.woodruff@dec.ny.gov or 518-402-9159).
