UMD GREEN OFFICES

ATTENTION: THE GREEN OFFICE PROGRAM IS NO LONGER ACTIVE AS OF JULY 2023. WE ARE TRANSITIONING TO THE NEW GREEN WORKSPACE PROGRAM. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN THE NEW PROGRAM, PLEASE EMAIL SUSTAINABILITY@UMD.EDU.

The Green Office Logo: A green leaf with part of a drawing of a terrapin on the left side, at the top is a black binder clip. In the center it says "University of Maryland" in small, red letters, and underneath it says "green office" in larger, black writing. Clicking on the image opens a blank email addressed to greenoffice@umd.edu.

Through the UMD Green Office Program, offices achieve certification by implementing actions from checklists featuring environmental best practices for offices at the University of Maryland. 

Our campus can serve as a sustainability living lab for our students, community, region, and planet. Green Offices lead positive change across campus and improve the collective impact we have on our air, water, and land! 

When staff teams unite around achievable goals to benefit the greater good, it can help build appreciation, recognition, motivation, and pride in our shared values.
