• Greenest Office: Any company embracing sustainability not just through energy efficiency and conservation practices, but by product and/or services innovation and employee behavior.

• Best Collaboration: Any entities partnering to reduce their impact on the planet while simultaneously boosting profits and/or cutting costs and providing consumers a better product and/or service.

• Vendor Award: A vendor with a physical presence in Northwest Arkansas that uses energy efficiency, conservation practices, innovation or employee behavior — or any combination thereof — to give consumers a better product while also boosting profits and/or cutting costs.

• Sustainability Champion: An individual who is making our corner of the world a better place to live through efforts to make us a more eco-friendly society.

• Best Initiative: Any volunteer program – within a company, nonprofit group or social group – that promotes sustainable practices.

Winners and all finalists will be featured in the Oct. 15 Sustainable Practices issue of the Business Journal. The event is sponsored by Bentonville Plaza.
