Sustainability Plan Target: Increase number of recognized sustainable businesses participating in the program
From 2019 to 2021, businesses were certified annually. This then changed to every two years. In 2025, the certification program was updated and certification will restart in 2026. Starting in 2026, certification is available every year, allowing businesses to apply or reapply on a rolling annual basis. Certification is valid for three (3) years from the date it is issued.
