Choosing the right product is easy when you have the City’s help. In keeping with San Francisco's commitment to the Precautionary Principle, the Board of Supervisors passed legislation in 2005 requiring City staff to buy from an approved list of environmentally preferable, or "green," products. San Francisco Department of Environment created the SF Approved List to share the best in authoritative green purchasing information within City government and with the world at large. To create the List, we review ingredients, recycled content, energy efficiency, product reviews from City staff, and more.
This is your one-stop shop for over 1,000 green products that:
- SF City Staff are required to buy under City ordinances.
- SF Green Businesses are allowed to use.
- Can green your home, small business or large organization.
