To qualify, businesses must:

  • Attend four educational sessions that cover sustainability, reporting requirements, and other topics
  • Implement at least 12 best management practices related to energy efficiency, waste reduction and landfill diversion, and water use reduction and conservation
  • Schedule a site visit with Green Volusia staff, who will conduct audits on energy, waste, and water consumption
