Green Street Badges reward you for taking sustainable actions in various areas, from recycling and energy saving to community education and responsible purchasing. To earn badges, you need to achieve the specified criteria for each badge. The badges help to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (if you're interested, that resource shows how our badges map onto the UN goals).

There are different badges for households and workplaces (see all the Green Street badges here). The badges you achieve are highlighted on your Green Street member profile.

Badges act as a 'badge of honour' to reward you for achieving sustainable actions in different areas. They also give you the incentive to keep going and achieve more.

To support others in achieving badges, you can post tips about how you are being more sustainable in those areas. You can also see green tips for guidance on actions you can take.

Households, businesses, community groups, schools or workplaces can earn badges by taking actions to be sustainable.

To earn badges, join Green Street at any level – it's FREE to sign up – and calculate your Green Street score. You can then edit your Green Street badges via your member profile.

It's up to you to record your badge achievements honestly and transparently, for the benefit of your household or workplace – and the planet!

• A checklist of actions you need to do to achieve each badge (available on the website and via your member profile)
• A handout listing all the badges and actions (one for Households and one for Workplaces)
• Icons for badges you earn are displayed on your member profile
• A visual matrix showing how the badges relate to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (see the UN SDGs resource)
