MIAMI, Aug. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Water and energy conservation firm is the fastest-growing in environmental services category
EcoSystems, a water and energy conservation company that designs and implements programs that have saved over 3 billion gallons of freshwater and more than 120 million kilowatt-hours in energy, is pleased to reveal its rank as Number 48 on the 2020 Inc. 5000 list, the most esteemed ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. Founded in 2012 with $5,000 and no outside funding, EcoSystems' three-year revenue growth of 5890.9 percent places them as the fastest-growing company in the Environmental Services category. This is the second year in a row that the firm has ranked in the top 100 companies on the Inc. 5000, up 27 spots from the Number 75 rank it received in 2019.
"We are honored to rank within the top 100 on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies for the second year in a row," said Lawrence Lamondin, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of EcoSystems. "As a service company in the sustainability and construction space, we are scaling at a rate that is extremely rare in our sector. We look forward to continuing to build and grow our team and our offerings, as well as our impact on the environment."
Notable efforts leading to EcoSystems' placement on the 2020 Inc. 5000 list include the acquisition of a Denver-based sustainability firm and the launch of a new energy division. The firm also achieved notable savings for a Texas-based apartment community—saving 36 million gallons of freshwater and more than $365,000 annually, resulting in an eight-month return on investment.
"We're here for the environment first and foremost. Being recognized for exponential business growth means our environmental impact is accelerating and that conservation truly is good for business," shared Richard Lamondin Jr., Co-Founder and Co-CEO of EcoSystems.
Not only have the companies on the 2020 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists as well.

The Inc. 5000's aggregate revenue was $209 billion in 2019, accounting for over 1 million jobs over the past three years.
