Crain's Emerald Awards
The Crain’s Cleveland Business Emerald Awards recognize Northeast Ohio companies that have implemented sustainable strategic priorities which significantly trim costs or increase cash flow with innovations and products that reduce its environmental footprint.
This program defines sustainability as the commercialization or adaptation of processes and products which are both feasible, economical and make a positive impact on the triple bottom line: Profits, People, Planet.
Crain's will be soliciting nominations of companies, organization and executive leadership in a wide array of categories, such as:
* New or Improved Processes — Reducing energy and/or raw material consumption, zero-waste manufacturing and resource conservation management.
* New Product Creation — Development of new components for alternative energy sources (e.g., parts for windmills and fuel cells).
* Decreased Energy Consumption — Innovations in equipment, physical plant and employee behaviors.
* Supply Chain — Working with suppliers to create energy-efficient logistics, implementing fair trade agreements.
* Land Revitalization — Restoring brownfields to viable business use, restoring habitat.
Judging will be done by a panel of experts from each discipline, applying specific metrics against how well each submission delivers on what we are calling “the triple bottom line” of profits, planet and people. Finalists will be announced in the pages of Crain's and the winners will be feted at an awards event later this year.
