Green Business Outreach Program

Has your business implemented green practices like waste reduction, water conservation or renewable energy? Be recognized for your efforts!

The City of Edina's Green Business Outreach Program (GBOP) celebrates green and sustainable actions promoted by local business. Edina's resident Energy & Environment Commission manages this program.

Businesses of all types are encouraged to apply. Businesses earn points for taking green actions within their daily operations in the areas of solid waste, recycling, purchasing, energy use, landscaping and water conservation, transportation and more. Businesses can earn recognition as a gold, silver or bronze Green Business.

Businesses that are interested in joining the program or renewing their green recognition can apply annually, between Earth Day and mid-July for an August recognition kickoff.

Businesses who are renewing their recognition must apply every two years to maintain their recognition (e.g., if you are recognized in 2023, you should apply for renewal in 2025).

The 2025 application period is closed.
