Costa Rica's Bandera Azul is the country's most recognized sustainability seal. Earning it — and renewing it every year — means your whole team has to know the criteria. We keep them trained, so you keep your flag.
Why it matters
Bandera Azul isn't awarded once — it's re-evaluated every year against a detailed set of criteria. Teams change, people leave, and the standard keeps rising. The organizations that hold onto their flag are the ones whose whole team understands what's being measured and why. That's exactly what this license is for: keeping everyone trained, year after year, so renewal isn't a scramble.
Bandera Azul Ecológica has recognized environmental commitment across Costa Rica for decades — beaches, communities, businesses and more.
Recognition has to be earned again each year — which is why one-off training rarely holds up, and a trained team does.
How GME helps
Most teams pay a consultant to walk them through the criteria every year. This license gives you that knowledge in-house — for a fraction of the cost, on your schedule.
Training mapped to what Bandera Azul actually assesses — practical preparation, not generic sustainability theory.
One price by company size, paid once. Everyone gets trained — and you can re-train new joiners for every renewal cycle, no extra fee.
Recurring on-site consulting adds up fast. Owning your team's readiness costs far less and stays with you.
Delivered in Spanish for Costa Rican teams, with a CPD-certified certificate of completion for everyone who finishes.

Questions
No — and we're careful to be clear about that. Bandera Azul is awarded by the national program, not by Green My Experience. What we do is train your team to understand and meet the criteria, so you go into evaluation prepared. The flag itself is the program's to award.
A full year of access to the training for your whole team, mapped to the program criteria, plus a certificate of completion for each person who finishes. You can re-train new joiners during the year at no extra cost.
A one-time price by company size — starting at $190 for up to 5 people, scaling up by band. Teams over 150 are quoted individually. Pick your size in the pricing section above.
A consultant typically trains a few people once and leaves — and you pay again next cycle. Here you pay once, your whole team is trained, and you can re-train for every renewal — a fraction of recurring consulting, with the knowledge staying in-house.
The license covers the band you purchase — paid once. If your team grows into the next band, talk to us and we'll adjust the difference; no need to re-buy.
