Green Event Certification

The aim of Green Event Certification is to encourage, recognize and celebrate the voluntary, sustainable efforts that event organizers have taken to reduce the environmental, social and financial costs of their event. The certification also serves as an opportunity to inform and engage event attendees in the sustainable initiatives taking place at Yale. Certification is simple and free to all organizers, just follow these three steps:

Step One:

Download the Green Event Checklist, in order to incorporate the action items into the planning process of the event.

Step Two:

Refer to the Additional Information & Resources Pack, featured on the Office of Sustainability site for more information on how to complete the checklist and how to implement recommended actions as well as the reasons behind certain initiatives.

*Please note: The checklist can be emailed to the Office of Sustainability before or after the event.

Step Three:

Complete the checklist and email it to the Office of Sustainability. The Office of Sustainability will then certify the event and present a certificate.
