Costs & Fee Structure
The cost structure for Green Leader accreditation requires companies to pay 0.1% of annual sales as an upfront payment to the program. Therefore a company with 10 million dollars in sales would pay an annual fee of US$10,000.
To work out the cost of your company becoming accredited, simply use the following formula:
Annual sales x 0.1% = certification cost
To use the above fee calculator: Please enter your company's
annual sales (without commas) and click on the Green Leader
Fee field to calculate your certification cost.
The reason why the cost is a percentage of revenue is that the level and expense of auditing tends to reflect the size of the company. With a larger company, there is far greater time required to professionally conduct the full audits, educate larger amounts of people on reduction techniques, and accumulate all necessary information on specific company by company measures for reduction. Additionally the larger the company, the more
Green Leader marketing materials will be required which are included in the cost.
All companies start the process as
Green Leader members and depending on the level of reduction achieved, they will then be awarded with one of the three Green Leader levels of accreditation.
To aid in supporting the costs of audits, many Government department tend to offer subsidies and our PR team would be pleased to support you in accessing grants where possible.
The process for applying to become
Green Leader certified is to fill in the Green Leader application form and sending it to us electronically.
The financial costs of Green Leader certification is made up of Audit fees which vary in scope depending on the size of company, the cost to supply marketing materials (hang tags, certificates, labels) and the corporate Overhead to run the company.
