Place the logo on your website to indicate that you are a Practice Greenhealth Member. You may create a click-through Practice Greenhealth logo that brings visitors to any page on the Practice Greenhealth website or to a page on your website that provides information about your environmental programs.

Promotional Literature & External Communications

Place the logo on your marketing pamphlets, product information sheets, business cards, or other marketing materials to indicate that your company is a Practice Greenhealth Member. The logo may be put on external communications, including newsletters, press releases, annual reports, and Web sites. The logo should be separated from the text and photographs of the products or services being promoted. The logo may not be placed in the body of the text or immediately next to or below a photograph or other depiction of the product or service being promoted.

Internal Communications

Communicate your membership to your employees by using the logo on internal communications designed to inform employees about your environmental commitment and Practice Greenhealth Membership, such as posters, newsletters, or emails.

Trade Booth

More and more health care facilities are looking for business partners who can contribute to their environmental goals. To advertise your environmental commitment, add the Practice Greenhealth Logo to your trade booth.

Promotional Items

Members may request permission from Practice Greenhealth to place the Practice Greenhealth Member Logo on give-away items for their staff or their customers. Items must not be single-use and must demonstrate Practice Greenhealth’s mission to reduce waste and reduce the toxicity of waste. Items may only be given away, not sold, and may only be given away during your membership period. For example, one member distributed reusable mugs with the Practice Greenhealth logo to its employees as part of their program to reduce the use of bottled water and disposable coffee cups in their offices.
