Office Tenants 
Would you like to work in an office that has a successful recycling program, uses green products, and makes going green fun? If you do, here’s your chance to improve your office’s “greenness” and get recognized for it.
The Green Office Challenge invites office tenants in Chicago’s central business district to increase your environmental performance in the areas of outreach, energy conservation, waste reduction, cleaner transportation choices, and property management engagement.
How it works
Once you register to take the Challenge, the Green Office Challenge Team will email you the Green Office Challenge Tenant Scorecard, which outlines 50 actions you can take to make your office “greener.” All 50 strategies contained in the Tenant Scorecard are also listed on our website in the Tenant section. As you fill in the Scorecard, it automatically generates your score. There are 100 points total, and 4 levels of achievement. Tier 1 is the highest tier.| Tier |
