About Green Stamp Plus
The Green Stamp Plus Program has been developed to encourage members to be aware of the environmental impacts and risks associated with the running of their business. Green Stamp Plus gives automotive businesses the opportunity to become accredited for the efforts that they have taken to decrease and eliminate these environmental impacts and risks. Managing these environmental impacts is very important today and because of this we believe that businesses should be rewarded for these efforts.
