Tennessee Green Star Partnership

The Tennessee Green Star Partnership (TGSP) is a voluntary environmental leadership program facilitated by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. The partnership recognizes Tennessee manufacturers that are committed to sustainability and that exhibit continuous improvement throughout their entire operation. Sharing successes, networking, and best management practices are just a few of the opportunities TGSP offers its members.

The program is partially funded through an EPA Pollution Prevention Grant designed to assist with the implementation of pollution prevention technical assistance services and/or training for manufacturers. The grant also supports projects that utilize pollution prevention techniques to reduce and/or eliminate pollution from air, water and/or land.

TGSP’s objectives promote the health and well-being of all Tennesseans and help stimulate economic development through avoided operational costs, supporting the Governor’s priorities. This public/private partnership has resulted in many positive environmental outcomes including significant CO₂e emissions reductions through waste diversion and increased energy efficiency, supporting TDEC’s priorities.
