Annual ranking from Oregon Business highlights a companywide commitment to sustainability and a growing shift in how Oregon businesses operate
GRANTS PASS, Ore., April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Rentec Direct has been named one of the 100 Best Green Workplaces in Oregon by Oregon Business—the software company's second time earning this statewide recognition. The annual ranking highlights workplaces where sustainability is more than a policy—it's both a business priority and a shared employee value.
As Oregon employers navigate rising operational costs and evolving workplace models, sustainability is playing an increasingly central role in both efficiency and employee engagement. Based on an in-depth employee survey, the Best Green Workplaces ranking evaluates organizations on everything from energy conservation and waste reduction to the integration of environmental values into workplace culture. Employees recognized Rentec Direct for initiatives like energy-efficient facilities, a fully paperless office, support for alternative commuting and a commitment to buying local and partnering with environmentally responsible vendors.
"Being independently owned and owning our headquarters in Grants Pass gives us the ability to build sustainability into how we operate every day," says Kaycee Miller, Director of Operations at Rentec Direct. "In today's business landscape, prioritizing sustainability isn't just the right thing to do—it's the smarter, more efficient way to run a business. Our employees are highly engaged in these efforts, and we are constantly looking for new ways to reduce our environmental impact. As a team, we're committed to giving back to the community we're a part of, and that includes minimizing our footprint to better support the people and place we call home."
Rentec Direct co-owners Nathan and Kaycee Miller purchased the company's downtown Grants Pass headquarters in 2018 and have made significant sustainability upgrades, including a solar energy system, a full HVAC overhaul and energy-efficient LED lighting. As a cloud-based software provider, Rentec operates a completely paperless office powered by digital storage and online collaboration. Internally, day-to-day efforts include an active recycling program, water-conserving landscaping, a refillable water station with reusable bottles for employees and on-site parking for alternative transportation like bikes and scooters. The company also prioritizes environmentally friendly purchasing and vendor selection.
Rentec's commitment to sustainability extends beyond its own operations—the company actively educates its 600,000 active users on sustainability and helps property managers adopt more efficient, environmentally conscious practices.
Sustainability is a key component of what makes a great workplace and sustainable industries are a critical sector in Oregon's economy. To honor the organizations leading this space, Oregon Business launched its first annual 100 Best Green Companies list in 2009 and has been recognizing sustainable businesses and environmentally responsible workplaces across the state for the more than 15 years.
