GreenBizCheck - Business Certification

As part of the continuous development and improvement of the AACS Sustainability Resource Facility AACS has formed an alliance with EcoSTEPS and GreenBizCheck to bring members a fantastic business certification tool specially designed for the convenience channel of trade.

Retail members now have access to a self audit tool that will enable the assessment of the environmental impacts of operational and will provide comprehensive suggestions of how to modify operational aspects of running the business that will enable them to increase their certification against a global standard.

“The survey in general was excellent, really made me think about the simple things my business could be implementing both at Head Office and at Franchise site level. It’s very easy to form the view, there’s not much my business can do to make a difference, so why bother doing anything at all? But this audit check illustrates how much of a difference my business can make with just a few simple things. Importantly it creates a starting point for a C-Store business that doesn’t know where to start; it provides a great kick start to a comprehensive sustainability policy.”
