🌱 Why It Matters
Transparency
Each tier reflects measurable practices with no exceptions or greenwashing.
Accountability
We only certify actions that produce real impact — by reducing CO₂, waste, water usage, or by strengthening the local economy.
Scalability
Vendors and venues can level up over time, moving from 1:100 to 3+:100 as they deepen their sustainable practices.
Coming soon: You'll be able to view each vendor's tier and real-time impact data directly on their profile.
