After applying, the City of Lexington schedules a consultation to review current practices and complete a Sustainability Scorecard. Members must score at least 30% for certification.
You’ll then receive a report outlining current efforts, areas for improvement, and a baseline environmental score. Bonus: The city assists businesses in developing new strategies, with regular check-ins throughout the year.
Scorecards are updated as new initiatives are completed, allowing members to reach higher tiers (think: Bronze, Silver, and Gold).
