Dealerships must have a high percentage of these practices in place to earn certification. A dealer's continuous improvement year after year will lead to ongoing annual recognition.

"GM has long been committed to being a leader in environmental stewardship, and we're proud that our dealers share this commitment to serve and improve the communities where we work and live," said Kurt McNeil, GM vice president of U.S. Sales Operations.

The Green Dealer program aligns with GM's companywide efforts to reduce its environmental footprint.
