New Chamber Award Category! Green Business of the Year
We are excited to share information about a new Chamber award category for this year, "Green Business of the Year!" Go Green Glen Ellyn worked with the Chamber Awards committee over the past year to design the evaluative criteria for this award.
This new award recognizes businesses in our community that are taking steps to implement more sustainable practices into their product offerings and/or business operations. Going greener can be challenging and sometimes requires additional effort beyond the day-to-day of operating a business. Yet consumers are actively seeking businesses that incorporate additional sustainability measures. Therefore, any business making such efforts are encouraged to apply / seek nominations, so that sustainability measures big and small can be celebrated.
We know that many of our Glen Ellyn businesses make efforts to sell sustainable products or incorporate sustainability into their operations. We hope to see multiple businesses nominated so that these efforts can not only be recognized, but also used to inspire others.
