Free Certification Assistance

Participation in the Green Business Program [Program] is entirely voluntary. The City of West Hollywood recognizes some businesses may have barriers to participate, such as time and money.

With these barriers in mind, the City of West Hollywood offers free assistance via Sustainability Experts through the entire Program process. Experienced Program coordinators are available to provide  step-by-step guidance, resources, and tools to help businesses from beginning to end.

Additionally, the City is offering a limited number of rebates for qualifying businesses for costs incurred to achieve the criteria like purchasing less toxic cleaning supplies. Businesses interested in these rebates should sign up as soon as possible.
