Initial Audit
Upon successful application to the Green Leader labelling program, our energy, water, and waste auditors will make an appointment to come your premises for a complete audit of your company uses energy, water, and outputs waste.
Auditors have a complete 300 point checklist (see checklist)
where they will examine every facet of your business to
understand where energy, and water is used and provide a
complete report on where you can create savings.
Rules and Regulations
Any company 1 from any industry globally may qualify to be a certified Green Leader by paying an upfront annual membership fee of 0.1% of annual sales. The minimum membership fee is US$1000.00 The maximum fee payable is $50,000.
There are 4 accreditation levels achievable within the Green Leader certification system with each reflecting varying degrees of contribution towards energy reduction and resource conservation:
1. Green Leader Member
2. Green Leader: Local
3. Green Leader: National
4. Green Leader: Global
All companies start off as Green Leader Members, a temporary membership level while they undergo the auditing and improvement process. Companies are supplied with Green Leader Member marketing materials as soon as they apply and arrange payment. Once reduction targets are met at the end of the first year, companies are able to then qualify to one of the three levels of accreditation based on their specific reductions in resource use. The accreditation is valid for 2 years and then needs to be re-applied for.

Companies engaged in illegal or hazardous human or environmental activities such as child labour, prostitution, drugs, slavery, forgery, environmental contamination, exploitation, production of weaponry, will not qualify for application to the program. The program reserves the right to refuse membership and cancel membership at any time due to activities or business conduct that poses a threat to people or the environment.
