| How to apply |
|
Eligibility
Any private, public or non-profit organization is eligible to apply. Awards are given based on merit, but organizations may be grouped by size and/or type in order to make comparing applicants more efficient and appropriate.
Winners will:
- show a commitment to sustainability that goes beyond compliance with regulatory requirements
- be innovators in their fields
- show that becoming more sustainable is not in conflict with achieving the organization's core mission (whatever that may be).
Application Materials
Application materials and forms arrive in the summer through a press release and marketing outreach.
For additional information, contact Mark Brady, Business Oregon, by email or phone at 503-229-5223.
