Why get a Green Mark?

Make a commercially recognised environmental commitment

Green Mark is a recognised award scheme, which is suitable for a public, private and third-sector organisations.

Originally established by the London Metropolitan University, and now delivered by GLE, our environmental services are used by organisations in London and the surrounding areas.

Reduce costs

The Green Mark team can identify areas of your organisation where savings could be made.

You'll receive guidance on a range of measures to control energy and resource consumption, reducing your utility bills and increasing efficiency.

Attract customers and win new business

There is a growing market for environmentally responsible goods and services. A Green Mark award will distinguish you from the competition by making a clear statement of your environmental commitment, which can be critical for business development and tendering opportunities.

A Green Mark consultant can provide guidance on ways to communicate your achievements to clients and stakeholders.

Comply with environmental legislation

All organisations are required to comply with a range of environmental legislation, or risk being fined or prosecuted.

Your Green Mark consultant will identify which legislation applies to your organisation, and provide simple guidance on how to meet these obligations.

Work towards ISO 14001 and other accreditation schemes

Green Mark is a simple and affordable route towards achieving internationally recognised standards such as EMAS, BS 8555 or ISO 14001.

Your consultant will provide guidance on developing an Environmental Management System which is compatible with the requirements of these standards. This will allow you to demonstrate that preparatory work has been externally verified by a recognised body.
