Once companies have submitted their commitment letter to participate in the program, they will have access to online resources like the carbon calculator and an electronic version of the checklist. Companies should complete their checklist within 6 months of signing the commitment letter.
The checklist is a self-report conducted by the companies. It lists various office practices the company can undertake to reduce their impact on the environment. Companies must complete 7 mandatory measures and at least 20 elective measures to qualify for membership in the program. Additional elective measures qualify companies for higher membership levels.
There are two versions of the checklist – one for businesses that own their buildings, and one for tenants.
