Sustainable Jersey certification is a prestigious designation for municipal governments in New Jersey. Municipalities that achieve the certification are considered by their peers, by state government and by the experts and civic organizations in New Jersey, to be among the leading municipalities striving for sustainability. In order to be certified, municipalities must implement a number of actions that earn them points. To be certified as "Bronze", municipalities must establish a green team, implement 2/12 priority actions, complete actions in 6/19 categories, and total at least 150 points. To be certified as "Silver", municipalities must also establish a green team, implement 3/12 priority actions, complete actions in 8/19 categories, and total at least 350 points.
