Congratulations to the 2020 100 Best Green Workplaces in Oregon.

Oregon Business is very appreciative of your support of our 100 Best Green Workplaces celebration packages. While our preference would be to celebrate with you in person, we hope you will take the time and use this opportunity to celebrate with your team in whatever manner is appropriate for your situation.

This enhanced digital presentation is being made available to you in advance of the traditional listing on www.oregonbusiness.com scheduled for June 3.


Our first piece of enhanced content is our welcome message from Oregon Business editor Kim Moore.


Next is a message from our sponsor, Heritage Bank. Thank you to Heritage Bank for continuing to support our revamped celebration format.


We would like to acknowledge our 2020 100 Best Green Workplaces Hall of Fame entrants. Organizations join the Hall of Fame when they achieve the 100 Best list for the 10th time.


Finally, we would like to acknowledge the 100 Best Green Workplaces in Oregon Top 10. These organizations and their employees are truly committed to sustainable practices.
