Your entire organization works hard to do right by your community. Whether it’s a campaign to prevent drunk or underage driving, employee involvement in a community project such as cleaning up rivers or building house for Habitat for Humanity, adoption of solar or other alternative energy sources, reducing waste through recycling or reengineering, or converting your fleet to natural gas, your work deserves to be recognized.
And now you can — from your peers and from the public.
