Green Plus - Beyond Certification
Abstract
The mission of the Institute for Sustainable Development’s Green Plus program is to
democratize triple bottom line sustainability by making sustainability education and
practices more accessible to small enterprises across the United States. This impact
assessment examines the success of Green Plus in fulfilling its mission by analyzing
qualitative interviews from ten participating organizations in different industries
and areas of the country, survey results from more than 30 current Green Plus participants,
and the results of a survey of a control group of comparable small enterprises not
involved in the program. The impact assessment indicates that participants have made
significant improvements to their sustainable practices and policies over their tenure
in the program, and that participants are generally satisfied with their involvement.
