The City of Phoenix Green Business Leader Program recognizes and promotes businesses that volunteer to operate in a more environmentally responsible manner through sustainable actions. Businesses receive many benefits to be a part of the program.
This program started through the Reimagine Phoenix initiative, which is the city's public goal to increase its waste diversion rate to 40 percent by 2020.
The program also assists the city in reaching its eight overarching 2050 Environmental Sustainability goals.
