Green-e® Marketplace is a unique recognition program for organizations that use certified renewable energy. It enables them to demonstrate their environmental commitment through the use of the nationally recognized Green-e® logo. Organizations can apply for logo usage on product packaging, as well as general organization level logo usage.
Steps to certification:
- Purchase Green-e® Energy Certified renewable energy and/or generate electricity from an eligible on-site generation facility
- Submit contractual documents and relevant information about your organization’s electricity consumption
- Submit an annual Marketing Review to ensure proper use of the Green-e® logo and associated renewable energy claims language
- Submit annual Green-e® Marketplace fee
Other requirements vary depending on your organization’s specific case and marketing needs. Contact us to learn more about how to join.

Certify Your Events
Green-e® also certifies events that purchase renewable energy to match their electricity use or carbon offsets to match the carbon emissions associated with the event. Our emissions calculator makes it easy to figure out exactly how many carbon offsets you need to make your event carbon neutral. Learn more about Green-e® Certified Events.
