GBB’s online sustainability program tracks your actions and completed initiatives.

The program uses our cutting-edge online EcoScorecard™ to track points you earn from completing initiatives. Initiatives and EcoPlans™ are easy to find and understand and are organized by energy, emissions, consumption, waste, transportation, water, work at home, community and culture.

Validate what you’ve already done, then find and target new initiatives in the GBB EcoLibrary™ based on effort, cost and impact. Have your results verified if you’re interested in certification. Then share your GBB EcoProfile™ and Seal.
