Individual Sustainability Partnership Programs
NATIONAL INFORMATION
Below are individual partnership program categories and links to certain specific partnership programs. All of EPA’s partnership programs are accessible through the Mid-Atlantic Sustainability Partnership; however, a separate membership may also be required for certain national programs such as Energy Star. An advantage of joining the Mid-Atlantic Sustainability Partnership is that one EPA point-of-contact would be established for a partner to help guide them through the wide variety of discrete national programs that can be used to assist an organization become more sustainable. The Mid-Atlantic Sustainability Partnership provides a holistic approach to “going green”.
