Green Volusia Introduces Business Recognition Program

Posted On: April 7, 2025

Green Volusia has announced an exciting new recognition program that will honor local businesses that are taking action to reduce waste and use less energy and water.

To qualify for recognition, businesses must:

• Attend four educational sessions that cover sustainability, reporting requirements, and other topics
• Implement at least 12 best management practices related to energy efficiency, waste reduction and landfill diversion, and water use reduction and conservation
• Schedule a site visit with Green Volusia staff, who will conduct audits on energy, waste, and water consumption
• Commit to yearly tracking and reporting of metrics

Qualifying businesses will receive a Green Volusia logo and certificate for display, a listing on the Green Volusia map, and a free waste assessment and energy audit.

Green Volusia, established by the Volusia County Council in 2008, is a long-term initiative to expand green practices within county government operations and to provide information and education about environmentally responsible practices that benefit the community.
