Business Friend of the Environment Awards
About the Award
The Business Friend of the Environment award highlights what Wisconsin companies are doing in the areas of sustainability, innovative technology and environmental stewardship. The goal of this awards program is to demonstrate to state policymakers, businesses and the public that sound environmental practices are good for Wisconsin and its business environment.
The awards are available to private industry companies headquartered or with significant operations in Wisconsin. The awards are given annually to companies that demonstrate environmental leadership. Companies are encouraged to self-nominate. While government entities are not eligible for the awards, they are encouraged to nominate businesses.
The awards focus on the following three areas:
- Sustainability
- Use of Innovative Technology
- Environmental Stewardship
Three winners are selected in each of these three categories. In each category, an award is given to a small, medium and large business.
These awards are publicized statewide and locally.
