The 2019 Bold Steps Award Finalists have been selected!

  
The Bold Steps Award recognizes Eugene-based sustainable businesses and represents a partnership between The City of Eugene, Eugene Mayor Lucy Vinis, and BRING’s rethink business program.  This year's finalists for the award are Yogi Tea, Summit Bank, and Hummingbird Wholesale.  These three finalists will be celebrated at the 2019 Bold Steps Finalist event on December 5th.  This event is produced in partnership with GreenLane Sustainable Business Network and is open to the public.  To register to attend the finalist event, click HERE. 

For the City of Eugene, sustainability means considering and balancing all three aspects of the triple bottom line – people, planet and prosperity – to address the community’s present needs without compromising future generations. The Bold Steps award recognizes businesses that embody this vision and are taking bold steps in each area of the triple bottom line.

Winning businesses receive marketing assistance including print ads and a professionally produced video, as well as recognition from the Mayor and community members at the annual State of the City event. 

To qualify for consideration for the Bold Steps award, businesses must be certified through the rethink program which offers businesses free, on-site consultation to reduce waste and save money.
