Based on the widely recognized “100 Best Companies to Work For” in Oregon project, this list was determined by an anonymous employee survey and an independent assessment of the employers’ sustainability practices.
Out of 372 companies that participated in the project, Ecos was chosen based on its employee recognition for reducing energy; helping subsidize employees’ public transit passes; allowing for green means of transport; using energy efficient lighting; purchasing of renewable energy; recycling office waste; using nontoxic materials; making business decisions based on sustainable values; reducing energy consumption and pollution; and commitment to sustainability as part of the organization’s core business strategy.
The 100 Best Green Companies to Work For will be announced in the June “Green” issue of Oregon Business Magazine, and the top 10 from that list will be honored at an awards event on June 1st at the Gerding Theater in the Pearl District. Members from Ecos staff will be present at the event, including President and CEO Jon Thomsen.
