At present, the Mexican government has yet to mandate any sort of green initiatives. Nevertheless, it has developed certain environmental requirements by imposing restrictions on actions involving the transportation, use, handling or disposal of hazardous waste and by implementing requirements that local and national governments must consider when making decisions that involve policies relating to the environment.

The government has taken the first step in implementing other initiatives and programs to protect the environment. There is a form of voluntary application for sustainable buildings. As more standards and laws are gradually created, there will be significant changes that will help achieve green goals.
