Green Business Program Announces Certified Green Business Members The Greater Shelby Chamber’s Existing Business & Industry Work Group is excited to congratulate The UPS Store, Caldwell Mill / Valleydale in Hoover and Event Operations Group, Inc. on being approved as Certified Green Businesses. The Green Business Program, sponsored by Trash Taxi of Alabama, LLC, is based on a point system in the categories of Waste Prevention, Recycling, Purchasing, Energy Conservation, Transportation, Water Conservation, and
Pollution. Each applicant has to receive a minimum of 20 points total to be designated as a “Certified Chamber Green Business.” The purpose of this program is to recognize Shelby County businesses that are committed and engaged in
environmentally responsible operations and practices, also known as “green” business practices. The program will recognize these companies each year at the annual Industry Appreciation Event. If your company is engaged in green practices
and is interested in applying for the Chamber’s Green Program Certification, the application can be found on the website, www. shelbychamber.org. For further questions please contact Brooke Story, brooke@shelbychamber.org or call the Chamber office at 205-663-4542, ext. 105.
