Redcliff's Earth Initiative is realized through our participation in BOMA’s voluntary BOMA BESt Program, a national environmental recognition, assessment and certification program for existing commercial buildings.

BOMA's former Go Green and Go Green Plus programs have now evolved into BOMA BESt.
BOMA BESt utilizes the framework of the Go Green (basic level one) best practices and the Go Green Plus assessment. It has integrated both into one harmonized program which offers four levels of certification from basic level one to the more rigorous level two to four.
By participating beyond level one we have access to a unique web-based assessment tool that measures the environmental performance of individual buildings and provides detailed information regarding the steps to be taken to meet or exceed level two requirements for: - Energy: consumption, features, management and transportation.
- Water: water efficiency.
- Resources: waste reduction and recycling.
- Emissions, Effluents and Other Impacts: air emissions, ozone depletion, water effluents, hazardous materials, hazardous products, health and safety and the Workforce Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS).
- Indoor Environment: indoor air, lighting and noise.
- Environmental Management: Environmental Management Systems (EMS) documentation, purchasing policy, emergency response and tenant awareness.
BOMA BESt is designed to encourage sustainable best practices throughout our industry. It also empowers company-wide participation in the process and simultaneously works to educate everyone involved.
- Develop action plans for savings on resource consumption costs and by reducing waste.
- Evaluate a portfolio of buildings and identify the strengths and weaknesses of each building.
- Benefit from a valuable tenant relations tool.
- Foster increased environmental consciousness in building design and operations.
- Recognize that environmental objectives are a key part of strategic asset planning.
