About the Green Business Program
The city of Carlsbad Green Business Program is a voluntary certification program designed to help businesses adopt environmentally sustainable practices and operate in a more efficient, cost-effective manner. The program evaluates businesses based on their commitment to improving employee wellness, energy conservation, water conservation, waste reduction, pollution prevention and other environmental initiatives.
Solatube implemented several measures at its Oak Ridge Way and Cousteau Court facilities to earn this certification, including enhancing recycling and composting programs, reducing computer and printer usage, using green-certified products, installing water-efficient fixtures, and using integrated pest management for pest control services. The company has also been diligent in properly storing and disposing of hazardous waste, using materials with recycled content, and eliminating the use of single-use plastic.
