The
Green Business Partnership
(GBP) encourages environmental stewardship and
recognizes businesses that make an extra effort to operate in an
environmentally responsible manner.
This collaborative effort includes businesses, business
organizations and local governments. The GBP was initiated
through a grant awarded by the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection to Sarasota County. The Green Business
Partnership now has more than 95 local members.
In 2007, the county expanded the Green Business program to
include businesses who have service contracts with Sarasota
County government, even those with offices outside of Sarasota
County.
