Welcome to the Green Salem Business Challenge!

Our goal is to support - you, our Salem businesses, in your efforts to reasonably and practically reduce your environmental footprint, adopt green best practices, and increase environmental awareness among employees, patrons, and the general public. Challenge yourself to: initiate green practices and measure and assess your current green status through the GSBC survey and Greater Shades of Green palette. For previous GSBC participants this is an opportunity to measure your progress!

Businesses of all types are encouraged to participate.
