Overview
The Sarasota County Green Business Partnership (GBP) contacted airport staff regarding the program and the process by which certification is obtained. Staff worked with the GBP to complete the application, attend a seminar, and provided a site visit to complete the certification process. Following the site visit, GBP approved the Airport Authority’s application and is now designated as a Sarasota County Green Business Partner. During the application and site visit, the airport was found to excel in the following areas: energy and water conservation and waste reduction.
Sarasota Manatee Airport Authority became a Sarasota County Green Business Partner in 2014. The Green Business Partnership (GBP) encourages environmental stewardship in the commercial sector, and recognizes businesses that make an extra effort to operate in an environmentally responsible manner. This collaborative effort includes businesses, business organizations and local governments. The GBP was initiated through a grant awarded by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to Sarasota County.
