Nevada Green Business Network
The Nevada Green Business Program utilizes GreenBizTracker, an online platform that makes it easy for businesses to register and get started, track their efforts, and become certified. The program offers a checklist of best practices that businesses can implement, and we certify businesses that meet minimum thresholds of environmental performance.
Progress is tracked across seven different categories: general, energy, pollution prevention, solid waste, transportation, wastewater, and water.Â
Once certified, we help to promote green businesses in their community and throughout Nevada.
If you have any questions please contact us at:
We are here for you.
