PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, the Business Intelligence Group announced the winners in the 2020 Sustainability Awards program. The Sustainability Awards honor those who have made sustainability an integral part of their business practice. For-profit and not-for-profit organizations of all sizes submitted nominations to reward team members and gain exposure for the organization, its initiatives, and the exemplary accomplishments of its leaders as they work to reduce their impact on our environment.
"The vast majority, in fact more than 85%, of major corporations now publish a sustainability report annually. So 'sustainability' clearly is no longer a forbidden word in corporate cultures. So we must honor that achievement in itself, and the tireless efforts of those nominated for their work," said Maria Jimenez, Chief Nominations Officer, Business Intelligence Group. "We are so proud to reward and recognize all of our winners and finalists, as they provide the leadership and vision needed to protect our environment."
