Already green as a Douglas Fir?

Call us to take our Sustainability Survey. If you've already gone above and beyond and there's nothing we can do to serve your business, we'll recognize you at Portland's annual BEST Awards because your business is already creating a more sustainable tomorrow.

What businesses receive

  • Customized assistance. BEST staff will meet you in person and provide free customized guidance for your business.
  • Something to keep. Sustainability reports that you can share with employees, customers and the world.
  • Access to cash. Direct connections to available cash incentives, tax credits and loans.
  • The recognition you deserve. Your business name in print ads, on the Internet, and at the BEST Awards.
  • Networking opportunities. Mingle with others in the Portland business community to learn what's working and what's not.
  • Consistent, reliable help. Greening your business won't happen overnight, contact us anytime and we'll still be here to connect you with the best resources.
  • Proof. We'll keep you updated on how your actions are contributing to the health and sustainability of Portland.

As a small business in Portland we don’t think about climate change every day, but we do know our actions make a difference. This program provided the tangible results necessary for our business to ask what’s important and what motivates our philosophy and ethics.

BEST Center staff has persistence.  Making resource conservation improvements are important and we’ve done a lot already, but the dedication shown by this program moved some projects higher on our agenda. I would recommend this program to colleagues.
