TRUE Zero Waste Certification

GBCI’s TRUE Zero Waste certification program is used by facilities to define, pursue and achieve their Zero Waste goals, cutting their carbon footprint, supporting public health and reducing operational costs.


The certification goes beyond diversion numbers and focuses on the upstream policies and practices that make Zero Waste successful in any organization and beyond. TRUE certified spaces are environmentally responsible, more resource efficient and help turn waste into savings and additional income streams.

Benefits?
TRUE certified facilities:
  • Save money - Waste is a sign of inefficiency and the reduction of waste reduces costs.
  • Progress faster - A zero waste strategy improves upon production processes and environmental prevention strategies, which can lead to larger, more innovative steps.
  • Support sustainability - A zero waste strategy supports the three P’s – people, planet and profit.
  • Improve material flows - A zero waste strategy uses fewer new raw materials and sends no waste materials to landfills, incineration (waste-to-energy) and the environment.
  • TRUE lines up with LEED accreditation too, learn more here.

No What?
Right now SJMConsults is working with companies to turn their space into a TRUE Zero Waste certified facility. As a TRUE Advisor (previously Zero Waste Business Associate), Scott J Morrison works with companies to evaluate their best way forward towards certification.

I’m a customer that just came in for a tour, “What is B Corp?” and “Why did you choose to become involved?”
A B-Corp is a Benefit Corporation, meaning a business that chooses to act as a force for good in the world. As a Certified B-Corporation, Beau’s meets higher standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. We chose to become a B Corp for a number of reasons – to set an achievable example for other businesses, to give our customers the assurance of a third-party endorsement of our commitment to social good and the environment, and to help us build a roadmap for sustainable growth as a brewery.
