SITES CERTIFICATION

SITES is a comprehensive rating system for sustainable land design and development, administered by the Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI). It helps projects plan, design, build, and manage landscapes that protect natural ecosystems, enhance biodiversity, and contribute to human and environmental health.

SITES certification demonstrates commitment to sustainability beyond buildings—focusing on outdoor spaces, ecology, water, soil, vegetation, and public health. It’s ideal for parks, campuses, streetscapes, and green infrastructure projects.

Projects register, identify applicable prerequisites and credits, prepare documentation, and submit for review via GBCI. Certification reflects performance in sustainability outcomes across landscape planning and implementation.

We can help your team integrate landscape sustainability strategies and navigate the SITES certification process.  Explore SITES certification!
