Making Sense of Green Certifications and What They Can (and Cannot) Do For Your
Business

Thursday January 7th 3pm-5:30pm

Stuart School of Business 565 W. Adams Room 485

While more than 400 green certifications exist, a recent report suggests that only
2-3 have widespread consumer recognition. In this quickly burgeoning field, new
and old certification methods abound. Workshop attendees will explore the basis
for green certifications, types and varieties, benefits and limitations, as well
as more advanced topics including strategic use and viable alternatives. Taught
by experienced sustainability professionals, the course is designed to empower
participants with the knowledge and perspective necessary to make more informed
decisions and chart an effective business strategy."
