Transform your organization by applying the zero waste framework provided by TRUE at scale through the TRUE portfolio program.

TRUE (Total Resource Use and Efficiency) is a comprehensive zero waste certification program that was developed as a leadership standard to recognize facilities that have defined and achieved their zero waste goals, making positive impacts on people, the environment and the economy. Today's organizations are moving beyond single facilities and committing to zero waste targets across their portfolio of assets. The TRUE portfolio program was developed by GBCI to recognize the transformational leadership of zero waste implementation at scale.
