Advertising Disclosure
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Green Path, we are committed to transparency in all our business relationships and communications. This Advertising Disclosure explains our advertising practices, affiliate relationships, and sponsored content policies.
We believe in honest and ethical marketing practices. When we recommend products, services, or partners, we do so because we genuinely believe they can provide value to our clients and align with our mission of promoting environmental sustainability.
This disclosure is provided in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and applicable consumer protection laws.
Affiliate Relationships
Participation in Affiliate Programs
Green Path may participate in affiliate marketing programs with select partners in the environmental and sustainability sectors. This means we may receive compensation when you click on certain links or make purchases through our recommendations.
Affiliate relationships do not influence our professional consulting advice or the quality of services we provide. Our primary commitment is to deliver value to our clients and promote genuine sustainability solutions.
How Affiliate Commissions Work
When we include affiliate links on our website or in our communications:
- We may receive a commission if you make a purchase through that link at no additional cost to you
- The price you pay is the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the provider
- Commissions help support our educational content and sustainability initiatives
- We only recommend products and services that align with our values and professional standards
Product Recommendation Policy
Our recommendations are based on:
- Professional experience and expertise in environmental consulting
- Thorough evaluation of environmental impact and sustainability credentials
- Real-world performance and client feedback
- Alignment with recognized sustainability frameworks and standards
Important Note: We only promote products and services we believe can genuinely benefit organizations pursuing sustainability goals. Financial incentives do not compromise our professional judgment or the integrity of our recommendations.
Sponsored Content
Identification of Paid Promotions
From time to time, we may publish sponsored content or paid promotions on our website or communications. When we do:
- All sponsored content will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored," "Paid Promotion," or similar designation
