Boston, MA (PRWEB) August 13, 2015
For the third year in a row, Next Step Living, the Northeast’s leading provider of home energy solutions, has been named to the prestigious Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States. This year, Next Step Living ranked 510 on the national list, as well as ranking in the top 10 of fastest growing companies in Boston. At $101 million in recorded revenue, the company also ranked second in revenue among the top 15 in Massachusetts in a list largely focused on technology. Some 161 companies made the Massachusetts list.
“We’re grateful for the recognition by Inc. for a third year running. It is further validation that our mission to provide a sustainable way of living for families can be achieved through our business model of providing whole-home energy solutions,” says Next Step Living founder and CEO Geoff Chapin. “During the coming year we will continue our focus on energy-saving solutions for a more sustainable planet, in addition to helping commercial kitchens lower their carbon footprints with the EcoThermal Filter System.”
Today’s Inc. 5000 announcement is the latest in a series of recent noteworthy successes for the company. Earlier this year, the Boston Business Journal named Next Step Living a Pacesetter as one of the fastest-growing private companies in Massachusetts. The company also announced a new service center opening in New York State for its whole-home energy solutions business and new markets opening in New York City, Connecticut and Rhode Island for its EcoThermal Filter System, which recycles cook line waste heat to preheat water, saving energy in commercial kitchens.
At the community level, Next Step Living has worked with cities and towns throughout the Northeast to partner in sustainable living initiatives and to involve students in the effort to reduce carbon emissions. Most recently, Lincoln-Sudbury High School was recognized by President Barack Obama and the Environmental Protection Agency for a program in which Next Step Living partnered with the school to reduce its plastic waste stream and educate the community on reducing its carbon footprint.
Since the company’s founding in 2008, Next Step Living has helped more than 115,000 homeowners reduce their energy use. “We’re looking forward to increasing that number as we drive action towards a more sustainable future,” says Chapin.
