Tracy Green Business Survey Analytics

The Tracy Green Business Network (TGBN) team analyzes the survey results using one of two rubrics based on whether the business has a sustainability committee. Both rubrics cover the same categories: energy, transportation, water, air, waste management, and social and governance.


TGBN uses the survey data to identify sustainability areas commonly overlooked by businesses and provides resources for improvement. Businesses receive their rubric evaluation along with targeted resources to address gaps. Overall scores measure sustainability progress, not as a negative grade, but as a reflection of the business’s journey toward sustainability.
