2020 100 Best Green Workplaces in Oregon

Congratulations to the companies and nonprofits on the 2020 100 Best Green Workplaces in Oregon list. This year's Best Green workplaces were determined by 357 companies and nonprofits that took part in two anonymous surveys: the 2019 100 Best Nonprofits to Work For in Oregon and the 2020 100 Best Companies to Work For in Oregon.

Employees rated their satisfaction with and the importance they attach to 11 statements related to workplace sustainable practices, such as green mission and goals, recycling and waste reduction, support for public transit, energy and water conservation, and buying local.

Employers were also independently scored on 15 questions about their sustainability practices.
