What’s the difference between an approved and a participating organization?

A worksite, school, restaurant, or grocery store must create a tipping point of transformation by meeting a minimum point requirement of best-practice implementation and outcomes tracking in order to become approved. Organizations such as faith-based and other are more suitable to complete a checklist of actions and activities to support making healthier choices easier.

Please contact your Blue Zones Project® team member to determine which process would best suit your organization.
