As a result, all certified offices are recognized both by Loyola Marymount University and the City of Los Angeles.

This voluntary assistance program aims to increase energy and water efficiency, generate cost-savings, reduce waste, promote environmental awareness, and create a healthier environment for Angelenos. All certified offices receive recognition as an LMU Green Office Leader as well as a City of Los Angeles Green Business with an official certificate signed by Mayor Garcetti. LMU collaborates with an employee from the city in order to certify offices based on a set of criteria.
