WMC accepting nominations for Wisconsin Business Friend of the Environment Awards Program 

Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC) has opened nominations for its annual Wisconsin Business Friend of the Environment Awards Program, according to a Thursday press release. WMC has facilitated the program for over 30 years to demonstrate the benefits of sound environmental practices for Wisconsin and its business environment.  

The organization is launching this year’s program ahead of Earth Day, celebrated on April 22 each year. 

Private industry companies headquartered or with significant operations in Wisconsin that demonstrate sound environmental leadership are encouraged to apply. Awards are given based on company size in three categories: sustainability, use of innovative technology, and environmental stewardship.  

The Wisconsin Business Friend of the Environment award winners will be selected by an independent panel of judges who represent the business community and environmental organizations. Applications are due on May 22.
