The Philadelphia Green Office Pledge identifies thirty things that every business can do in sourcing, energy use, recycling and transportation, along with a list of resources for information and assistance.  Leanne Krueger-Braneky, executive director of the Sustainable Business Network, drafted the Green Office Pledge after reviewing leading environmental programs around the country, most notably the business certification programs in the San Francisco bay area, and consulting with the organizations in the Philadelphia coalition.

The creation of the Philadelphia Green Office Pledge is a totally volunteer effort. The graphics design department at PhillyCarShare designed the website; Elliott Curson designed the logo.  Center City Proprietors Association is providing administrative support.  Everyone is pooling together information and expertise.

“While there are many fine green initiatives around the country,” commented CCPA president Krista Bard, “this is intended as the first green step that every office is able to take, a kind of low barrier to entry.  Many businesses are not ready or able to fill out all the forms for LEED certification, but they can certainly do the things on this list and start to make a huge difference.”

Join the growing list of offices that have already taken the pledge.
