About the Green Pages™
For every category of conventional consumer goods and services, there are green businesses that can meet your needs. The National Green Pages™ lists baby care products, organic, fair trade, flavored teas, and fuel-efficient cars for rent among the thousands of products. With each purchase you make through the National Green Pages™, you know you’re supporting truly green businesses. What's a Green Business? Green businesses operate in ways that solve, rather than cause, both environmental and social problems. These businesses adopt principles, policies, and practices that improve the quality of life for their customers, their employees, communities, and the environment. Green businesses listed in Green America’s National Green Pages™ have passed a screening process that qualifies them for membership in our Green Business Network™. Learn More and Get Involved...
Our Member Screening Process
After joining the Green Business Network™, businesses initiate the review process by completing a Listing Application. The information on this application, along with other information gathered by our screening team through research and interviews, is reviewed by Green America's Screening Team. The Screening Committee, which is appointed by and reports to Green America's board of directors, investigates each applying company to determine its familiarity with and commitment to social and environmental responsibility, and looks for significant evidence of this commitment in the practices and policies of the company. To qualify to appear in the National Green Pages™ and carry the Seal of Approval, companies' representatives must demonstrate that they:
The committee may either approve the company or ask the Screening Coordinator to gather additional information if questions or concerns remain. When the committee is satisfied that a company's profile is complete, a final decision is made to approve or reject the company for full membership. If approved for full membership, your company will receive a listing in both the online version and the next print edition of the National Green Pages™, the right to use our exclusive Green Business Seal of Approval, access to our many member benefits, and eligibility for advertising in our popular green consumer publications. If your company is not approved for full membership, you may opt to terminate your membership and your membership dues will be refunded in full.
