Our next Sustainability Awards will take place in Fall 2025.
Sustainability is supported by three interdependent pillars: a healthy environment, social equity, and economic vitality. We see sustainability as both an active process and an outcome to strive for.
The Sustainability Awards is a way to celebrate businesses, organizations and individuals who are helping to shape sustainable communities that meet human needs equitably, live within our planet’s ecological limits, and build a prosperous economy for all — without compromising the ability for future generations to do the same. Those being recognized are taking action, changing systems, collaborating on solutions, and supporting their peers to do the same.
2023 Winners
On November 2, 2023 we presented four Sustainability Awards to leaders in Central Oregon.
Please join us in celebrating:
- Sakari Farms
- Noelle Bell Copley
- RootedHomes
- STEELE Associates Architects
Award recipients were selected by a committee of community leaders, former Sustainability Awards winners, and Environmental Center staff/board.
