About Green Star

Green Star is a green business certification program started in Anchorage in 1990.  Green Star provides assistance and recognition to businesses that seek and achieve Green Star’s high voluntary environmental standards.  Any Anchorage area business may earn a Green Star certification by satisfactorily completing the Green Star Standards.  Green Star is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Recent national and global attention on the advantages of running business in an efficient and environmentally preferable manner, plus the global challenges posed by climate change have generated a high demand for Green Star certification and our other technical assistance services.  We are currently building capacity to increase our ability to deliver services to move with the increasing demand.  Additionally, Green Star was recently selected by the Nerland Agency to be their annual pro-bono client in 2008 to help us improve our brand recognition and public outreach.  We expect to see exciting growth in our membership in the coming years due partially to these increases in demand and our own outreach.  The selected candidate will help bring this vision to fruition.
