ABOUT THE GREEN MASTERS PROGRAM

YOU CAN'T MANAGE WHAT YOU DON'T MEASURE

The Green Masters Program is a proprietary tool designed to help companies define, prioritize, measure, and manage their sustainability performance in the areas of environmental, social, and governance (ESG). It focuses on topics that are both meaningful to your business and essential to your stakeholders.

The program empowers companies to tailor their disclosure scope based on business priorities and stakeholder concerns. It’s an ideal fit for organizations aiming to embed sustainability into their core business strategy—offering a deliberate approach, a formal framework, third-party recognition, and supporting resources.

The Green Masters Program offers a cost-effective path to integrating and advancing ESG actions across your business. Participation provides:

A trusted third-party credential – The Green Masters® Certification Mark indicates your organization is proactively managing its most material sustainability issues.
A framework aligned with international standards – The methods, KPIs, and best practices are consistent with widely recognized sustainability frameworks and certification programs.
A steppingstone for broader recognition – Participation can serve as a standalone achievement or complement other sustainability standards, certifications, and indices.

"The Green Masters Program provides a platform for cross-functional teams to meet, exchange ideas and continue to imbed and drive ESG programming throughout your organization." Sr. Manager of Sustainability & Environmental Compliance, Kohl's Inc.
