Getting Certified

There are three phases to becoming a Maine Businesses for Sustainability Certified Green Event:

Phase I: Initial Evaluation
In the initial evaluation phase, a Maine Businesses for Sustainability consultant will meet with event planners and review our Green Event Scorecard to determine whether the event as currently planned meets Maine Businesses for Sustainability’s standards.

Phase II: Continuing Consultation
If your event plan needs adjustments to become a Certified Green Event, a Maine Businesses for Sustainability consultant can work with you to ensure certification. Once you have attained certification, you will receive the Certified Green Event logo for use on your promotional materials and will be listed on Maine Businesses for Sustainability’s website as a Certified Green Event.

Phase III: Pre-Event Check In
The week of your event, a Maine Businesses for Sustainability consultant will review your initial plan and ensure your event still qualifies under Maine Businesses for Sustainability’s standards; any last minute adjustments will be made at this time.
