A Business Commitment That Matters:
LBOR Joins the California Green Business Network
In today’s marketplace, sustainability is no longer a bonus - it’s a responsibility. More businesses are recognizing that environmental stewardship and smart operations go hand in hand. On January 27, 2026 being recognized by the Mayor and City Council of Laguna Beach, Director Gilda Duhs, accepted a certificate for becoming a member of the California Green Business Network (CAGBN) on behalf of Laguna Board of REALTORS® LBOR took meaningful steps toward reducing its environmental footprint.
The California Green Business Network is a statewide program that certifies businesses that meet rigorous standards for environmental performance. These standards cover key areas such as energy efficiency, water conservation, waste reduction, pollution prevention, and sustainable purchasing. Certification is not symbolic; it is earned through verified actions that make real, measurable differences. Becoming a certified Green Business means going beyond basic compliance with environmental regulations. Participating businesses work closely with local Green Business programs to assess their operations, identify opportunities for improvement, and implement practical, cost-effective changes.
Joining the California Green Business Network is both an environmental and a strategic business decision. Certified businesses often experience lower utility costs, improved operational efficiency, and reduced risk from regulatory changes. These savings can be reinvested into growth, employees, or further sustainability initiatives. Becoming part of the California Green Business Network is not a one-time achievement - it is a commitment to continuous improvement. Certified businesses are encouraged to revisit their practices, track progress, and look for new ways to innovate and lead.
The program is completely free in Laguna Beach and participating cities, providing grants and complimentary technical assistance. For more information about coming a member of the California Green Business Network, visit: https://greenbusinessca.org
