4 Greater Shelby County Chamber of Commerce Green Business Program Recognizes Certified Green Business Companies The Greater Shelby Chamber recently launched the Green Business Program and is excited to congratulate the following companies on being approved as a Certified Green Business: FlexDigital, Shelby Baptist Medical Center, Trash Taxi of Alabama, and Vital Records Control of Alabama. The Chamber’s Existing Business & Industry Work Group reviewed the applicants and collectively approved these companies at their September meeting. The Green Business application 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 total points 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. What’s more, the program will recognize environmentally safe and sustainable business practices and operations
businesses undertake to ensure that Shelby County is environmentally healthy and viable. We will be recognizing all certified companies 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 Chamber’s website home page, www. shelbychamber.org. For further questions please contact Brooke Story, brooke@ shelbychamber.org or call the Chamber at 205-663-4542.
