WHAT IS THE GREEN STAMP PLUS ENVIRONMENTAL ACCREDITATION PROGRAM?
The Green Stamp Plus Environmental Accreditation program is a marketing tool which helps business demonstrate to customers their commitment to good environmental management.
WHY SHOULD YOU BECOME ACCREDITED?
A growing number of businesses operate their businesses environmental management to a standard never previously achieved in Australia.
Despite these achievements the industry is still often recognised as being a significant polluter due to the obvious impact many traditional practices continue to have.
The Green Stamp Plus program aims to change that belief by showing consumers how many workshops include environmental considerations in their everyday operations.
The program covers key areas considered essential to reducing the motor trade’s impact on the environment. These include:
- Air quality management
- Implementing environmental management plans and policies
- Noise pollution
- Resource efficiency
- Waste management
- Wastewater management
