North Shore recently submitted an application to become a participant in the Wisconsin DNR Green Tier Program. North Shore has applied for the Tier 1 program which is designed to encourage innovation, collaboration and new environmental goal setting.
What is Green Tier? Green Tier is a sustainable and innovative environmental program developed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. It is a voluntary program for businesses that are willing to exceed basic environmental regulations and to commit and perform exceptional environmental practices.
The main goal of the program is to assess environmental impacts within businesses, trade associations, communities, as well as individuals,and then to develop strategies to eliminate externalities. This program provides an opportunity for Wisconsin businesses to gain regulatory flexibility and to recognize and reward environmental performance.
Green Tier is helping businesses make a difference environmentally.
