The MyHIJAU Champions program is designed to showcase and guide such organizations, under the distinctive and easily recognizable MyHIJAU brand.

Green Manufacturers / Distributors / Service Providers that are participating in the program must register for the MyHIJAU Mark and offer certified green products and services that are in-demand by a growing business market. Advice and support are provided to manufacturers/service providers to help them increase the visibility of their brand and reach new markets, such as providing consultancy, connections to businesses seeking to procure green products, and joint public relations initiatives.
