The Sustainable City Commission paved the way for an eco-friendly business program today when it unanimously agreed to send to the program's initial framework to the City Council.
As it stands, the voluntary Green Business program includes establishing a four-step certification process, a green business logo and brand for businesses to use and a map or directory of the city's green businesses.
A green business in Long Beach would have to comply with federal, state and local regulations, pledge to carry out a number of conservation and waste reduction practices and annually renew its designation.
The proposal will come back to the council in early August.
