A word from our presenting sponsor

Welcome to our yearly roster of the 100 Best Green Workplaces in Oregon. The following list showcases companies and nonprofits whose employees rate their employers' sustainability efforts highly.

Being a sustainable workplace can take extra effort, particularly amid rapidly shifting norms as some offices reopen or adopt hybrid plans. But the workplaces on this list have made measurable efforts to reduce their environmental footprint and adopt more sustainable practices.
