Environmental Leader Certification

Welcome to our Environmental Leader program. Our Office of Innovation and Assistance partners with The University of New England, the University of Southern Maine and the New England Finance Center to provide student to business technical assistance and experiential learning.

The Environmental Leader program is a self-guided process offered by  Maine DEP and our partners as part of Maine’s sustainability efforts, encouraging businesses to implement environmental leadership initiatives. As businesses work through the process our partners provide technical assistance to help participants implement sustainable practices, save money and reduce their environmental impact, regardless of whether they achieve certification.

For further information regarding the certification process please email Julie Churchill. Julie will be able to connect your business with our higher-learning partners to facilitate on-site technical assistance and begin the certification process.
