So, I want to make an environment movement and I see "Go Green" is hyped and suitable for the movement. But what I want to know is, is it should be "(my company's name) Go Green" or "(my company's name) Goes Green"?
Besides, I wonder, does "Go Green" is a single term for something or is it a just a sentence? I've seen some example of companies using Go Green, but my colleagues say it should be Goes Green.

Often, you'll see "Go Green!" on banners and placards because people are campaigning, and trying to get other people to become more environmentally friendly.

"Go Green!" is an imperative, with implied second-person subject ("You should Go Green!")

So, in your case (because the subject is not the reader of the notice, but rather the company) the correct phrase would be:

[Company Name] goes green!
