The Santa Barbara County Geen Business Program is a multi-jurisdictional effort to encourage businesses to implement actions to protect, preserve, and improve the environment above and beyond what is required by law.

The program is voluntary and offers assistance and incentives, including an official Green Business certification upon completion of the recommended actions.

The Green Business Program will initially certify qualifying hotels, restaurants, automotive, and office/retail businesses. Once the Green Business Program is established, additional businesses will be included in the certification process.

Green Awards

The Santa Barbara County Green Award program has been discontinued so that the staff involved can focus on the Green Business program.
