The Sustainable Business Awards promote and recognize excellence in sustainable design, environmental stewardship, and community impact, and highlight the green building initiatives and achievements of local projects, businesses, and individual leaders. Given in several categories, the project awards honor innovative, high-performance buildings that are leading the way throughout the Carolinas.
Winners were recently announced during a virtual ceremony at the annual Carolinas Green Gala celebration. Event attendees had the opportunity to vote which of the nominees will take home the People's Choice Award.
