The Creve Coeur Green Business Certification recognizes and promotes local businesses making meaningful efforts to reduce their environmental impacts. Creve Coeur businesses that are incorporating three or more sustainability practices are eligible to apply for the certification. 

To apply, submit an online application. The Creve Coeur Energy and Environment Committee will review your application and determine if your business is eligible for certification. Certifications are good for a three-year period.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

Being Green Business Certified differentiates you from the rest of the crowd:

• Businesses will receive a complimentary storefront window decal, showing customers your efforts to operate in an environmentally and socially conscious way. 

• Customers prefer to buy from organizations that treat the environment as a priority, and employees prefer to work for environmentally responsible organizations.

• Being certified will offer a variety of promotional opportunities, from being listed on our website and highlighted in our newsletter. You will also be eligible for the Creve Coeur Green Business Award. 

• Good environmental practices can save organizations money on energy, water, waste collection, and maintenance. Often, the energy savings cover the entire cost of installation within a year.
