The SEGD Green Audit

The SEGD Green Audit process was developed by the SEGD Sustainability Forum to provide a consistent framework for evaluating and articulating the sustainable strategies, materials, and processes used in environmental graphic design projects. Green Audit classification categories include:

• Materials/Products: elements such as paints, substrates, inks, solar panels, and modular signs
• Processes/Approaches: fabrication and manufacturing approaches and design innovations
• Projects: stand-alone projects and EGD projects inside larger “green” programs

The SEGD Green Paper provides more details about the Green Audit process.

List of Green Audits:

• SunEdison City Tour
