Green Tier has two tiers or participation levels as well as an option for developing a charter.

Tier 1 is designed to encourage innovation, collaboration and new environmental goal setting. For more information, check out the Frequently Asked Questions.
Tier 2 involves more rigorous participation requirements than Tier 1, places greater emphasis on superior environmental performance, and uses contracts as a means of giving customized regulatory flexibility proportional to environmental performance. For more information, check out the Frequently Asked Questions.
A charter is a contract entered into by the DNR and an association committed to helping its members participate in Green Tier. An association may consist of private entities, public entities, or a combination. Charters help business sectors or regions establish and meet environmental objectives.
