Greener Awards is the brainchild of Best in Biz Awards, which since 2011, has been the only business awards program judged by independent panels of prominent writers and editors from top-tier publications.

From ADP to Zappos, past winners in Best in Biz Awards span the spectrum, from blue-chip companies that form the bedrock of the world economy through mom-and-pop shops and Shark Tank sensations to some of today’s most innovative start-ups. Other notable winners over the years have included: 1-800-Flowers, Aflac, AT&T, Bausch + Lomb, Best Western, Boyd Gaming, Burger King, Chipotle, Citrix, Dell, Dyson, Eastman, Epson, Ernst & Young, Experian, GoDaddy, Hilton, HP, IBM, LifeLock, Microsoft, National Association of Realtors, Planet Fitness, Safelite, Sandisk, Santander Bank, Sheraton, Sotheby’s, StubHub, Symantec, UnitedHealthcare, Wells Fargo, YMCA, and more.

Best in Biz Awards is held annually in two separate, geography-based programs: (1) a North American program, covering the U.S. and Canada; and (2) an International program, open to all companies anywhere in the world.

Both programs have through the years included green categories, such as Most Environmentally Friendly Company of the Year, Most Environmentally Friendly Product or Service of the Year, Environmental Campaign of the Year – but Greener Awards wants to make those categories a focus.
