Green Workplace Certification
Have an impact and set a culture of sustainability at NYU.
NYU's Green Workplace Certification is a self-reporting program for administrators to receive recognition for improving the sustainability of their workplaces.
About the Program
The Green Workplace Certification Checklist consists of operational changes and actions relating to electronics and equipment, purchasing, food and pantry set-up, waste management, travel and transportation, conference attendance, and remote work. Every action has a point value that has been determined according to relative environmental impact and ease of implementation.
Eligibility
If you're interested in applying for certification on behalf of your office, please obtain approval from your supervisor or unit head. Your approver should approve you and/or a colleague as the Green Workplace lead, who is responsible for submitting the Green Workplace Certification spreadsheet. The “workplace” should be defined in the submission and can refer to an office or a department.
