Certified Environmentally Responsible Contractor (CERC) is a certification program administered by Environmental Risk Professionals that recognizes contractors who train their employees to understand and mitigate the environmental risks associated with their business. CERC contractors fall into one of the following categories:
Environmental Firms
General and Trade Contractors
Restoration Contractors
Street Sweepers
Transporters
When something goes wrong on a jobsite and an environmental incident occurs, a CERC will not only be trained to mitigate the risk, but they will also have adequate insurance coverage to protect themselves, the general contractor, and the project owner against claims that may arise due to their contracting operations.

Discover the benefits of CERC certification, as shared by the CERC Community.
Our CERC demonstrates to the City and private owners that we are the most qualified contractor for any project from pre-construction through project completion, turnover, and long-term maintenance. Our environmentally responsible construction practices are very well demonstrated through our CERC.
Joining the CERC movement gave us valuable tools to differentiate and demonstrate our commitment to protect our customers and others from environmental problems, so much so that our company has grown over 81% in the last couple of years.
Your marketing kit is awesome … I just got through about everything you have on there and you guys make it really easy! Great job! And thank you!!
Having the team at Environmental Risk Professionals available to review our pollution coverage and provide training through Pollution Prevention Practices and Best Management Practices gave our team valuable knowledge and expertise. Being a CERC supports our mission of enhancing the lives of those in our community.
I like having the CERC certification. My company has been building civil infrastructure, water delivery, and hydroelectric projects for years. CERC certification is necessary for raising awareness on the importance of being environmentally responsible in the construction industry. It’s part of our overall profile that says we’re safe, we’re responsible, we deliver high-quality projects.
CERC matters because it is crucial to be transparent with customers and suppliers in regard to compliance and participating in mitigation risk from daily activities and projects environmental organizations take part in. It is all too easy for a firm to say they care about the environment but without certifying that in some way, those words are meaningless. Our commitment to train our staff to mitigate risk and insure our projects to cover our partners, are the foundation of our commitment to the environment.
I am proud that our company joined the CERC Community. Caring for our clients’ facilities while being environmentally friendly is our top priority.
Sustainability fosters trust. I want to help our clients create their dream homes and improve their daily lives - and this is only possible through environmental best practices. Our clients appreciate that we are recognized as a Certified Environmentally Responsible Contractor.
CERC helped us secure a contract with the 7th largest school district in the state. The in-depth and ahead-of-the-curve tools provided by CERC helped us gain an advantage and put us on a platform over our competitors. The marketing kit provided was tremendous and we look forward to leveraging our CERC certification more as our business rapidly grows.
