Is your department Green Office certified?

Looking to green your office space and earn recognition for your department? The faculty/staff campus sustainability program can be achieved in just a five steps.

CU Boulder's Green Office Program works in partnership with faculty and staff to recognize and implement sustainable practices in office spaces. The program integrates many of the campus' sustainability initiatives, including transportation, purchasing, recycling and energy, and guides departments and offices to best practices, many of which may already be in use.

In order to become Green Office certified, interested parties should assign a liaison to submit an inventory and checklist, and the program coordinator will schedule a site visit and hold a workshop for staff. For more details, see the five steps of Green Office certification.

Each spring, certified departments are recognized at the campus sustainability awards ceremony. Conference Services is one department actively contributing to sustainability success on campus. As their "Living Wall" is not a typical office practice, it earned them innovation points on their scorecard!
