Phoenix, AZ: Vert Plantworks, designer and installer of custom green walls and plantscapes, today announced certification as a Green Business through the Arizona Green Business Certification program. The certification recognizes the company’s commitment to sustainability goals, as well as everyday green business practices. The Phoenix-based company is targeting water recycling, zero waste and alleviating the heat island effect due to their particular relevance for Arizona and for the interior and exterior landscaping industries.

Sustainability is in our DNA, so it’s great to be recognized for our efforts,” says Evan Lambert, founder of Vert Plantworks. “The certification process helped us focus on how we can be even more sustainable in our everyday business, while also helping us envision bigger goals for the future.”
"Arizona businesses like Vert Plantworks are modeling how to be profitable, while also prioritizing the planet for future generations," said Local First Arizona Senior Sustainability Manager Nick Shivka. "Vert Plantworks' sustainability policy is an example of how serious this local business is about walking the talk of going green in their everyday operations, and I know it will inspire more business owners across the state to implement solutions that not only save money but benefit the environment and local community as well."
