Green Spaces Certification

The Green Spaces Certification program is a three-level, voluntary certification process that encourages people in work, school, and living spaces on campus to adopt sustainable practices and green their operations.

Program participants will sign up for the program and identify a leader who will guide the completion of a series of sustainable actions outlined in a checklist, which is customizable based on the needs of your space. Once it is completed, your area will become recognized as a Green Space with either Bronze, Silver, or Green and Gold certification.


Choose which space you want to certify:

 
A Green Office at the University of Alberta is a work unit that has made a collective commitment to reducing resource use and improving the overall sustainability of their day to day operations.

 
A Green Event is an event or conference that incorporates multiple sustainable features into its delivery and attendees are encouraged to take personal actions that help reduce the overall impact of the event.

Developed in 2012, Green Spaces celebrates the efforts of the green and gold offices and events which strive for sustainability.
