“From the moment I embarked on this journey, I was pleasantly surprised by how seamless and straightforward the entire process was. Your step-by-step guidance made it incredibly easy for me to navigate through the certification requirements. The resources provided were comprehensive and user-friendly, ensuring that I had all the necessary information at my fingertips.
I cannot thank the Nevada Green Business Network enough for their dedication to promoting environmentally friendly practices within our community. I wholeheartedly recommend this program to any business looking to make a positive impact while also reaping the benefits of certification.”
“As a socialpreneur, I am passionate about helping other social enterprises protect their brands so they can focus on creating a positive impact on their stakeholders and communities while minimizing their environmental footprint. We hope that our green business certification will inspire our clients and other local businesses to follow our example for the greater good.”
“We wanted to improve the sustainability efforts at our Nevada facility. As an organic tea company, it is important to support a healthy environment. That is why we pursued certification through the Nevada Green Business Network. We are excited to be the first manufacturer to achieve Innovator status, and proud to be among the first five businesses to become a Certified Green Business in Nevada.”
“As a LEED Accredited Professional with USGBC we are familiar with sustainability issues and help our clients achieve green building projects. The green business certification process was second nature and important to show our clients we practice what we preach.”
“At Merchology, we believe that sustainability and style go together. That’s why we offer a range of eco-friendly products and our own sustainable clothing brand, Zusa. We were already implementing a range of sustainable business practices, so it was a natural next step to work with the Nevada Green Business Network to certify our efforts. We are proud to demonstrate that business has an important role as we transition to a more sustainable future.”
“We are fortunate to have been born and raised in Northern Nevada surrounded by the Sierra Mountains to the west and Great Basin Desert to the east. We feel a responsibility to preserve the natural beauty for our children and our community. Green business certification is just one of the ways that we meet that challenge, and we hope that many local businesses will join us!”
“The green certification process was equally challenging, insightful, and empowering! I loved my calls with Kim because she was always so kind and helpful. It was so fun learning new ways to transform my business to become even more green and then unlocking each new level! I am already a fairly conscious and sustainable person so it was really important to me that my morals and beliefs were reflected in my photography business and receiving a green certification validated and solidified that. I am honored to finally say I am a Nevada Green Business and I couldn’t have done that without the help of KTMB!”
“Sustainability is often top of mind for our clients and our employees in business and life. Creativity and sustainable practices go hand in hand, making solutions that have a minimal or even positive impact on the environment come naturally to us, but not without effort.
We recommend biodegradable, easily recyclable, and minimal packaging when designing for our packaged goods clients. With our website development services we audit and optimize sites for reduced energy consumption. More than half of our team is fully remote, and the other half is hybrid, reducing emissions from commuting by vehicle. Our business produces primarily digital service offerings so our services produce little physical waste. Exercising practices that support the health and equity of our employees is very important to our culture at Commence.”
“Smash My Trash is centered around helping other companies reduce their carbon footprint and reach their sustainability goals, so it just made sense to be doing everything we could to make sure our own operations were up to par. We pursued our certification through the Nevada Green Business Network to do just that. The framework made it easy to identify where we could improve and make more sustainable choices for our business. We are very proud of our Green Business Certification and we are grateful to be part of a network that shares those values.”
“Join us in our commitment to sustainability! CARE Chest of Sierra Nevada has been reusing, refurbishing, and recycling durable medical equipment for over 30 years!”
“The beauty industry sends 877 pounds of waste the landfill every minute. We are changing the way we do business, to change that. We want to make you feel beautiful, while still keeping our environment beautiful, because we only have one Mama Earth!”
“I am beyond excited to be listed as a Certified Green Business with NV Green Business. It was a little bit of leg work, but nothing too daunting as we believe in these practices. It’s a great way to let the consumers know that we care about our planet, and we are taking actions to at least offset our impact.”
“Sustainability is the core value that drives every decision we make.”
“Getting my Nevada Green Business certificate was a task I didn’t take lightly. Living green, promoting green, essentially being green in the things I do, this is very important to me.”
“Water, Air, and Land are essential elements to life. Plastic is not. We need to stop exploiting our own home and learn to care for it, otherwise humankind is destined for extinction. I’m an environmentalist because I care about the next generation.”
