Free guidelines, resources and assistance are provided to help participating businesses in making environmental improvements to achieve compliance, conserve resources, reduce waste and prevent pollution. Green Businesses benefit from cost savings through increased efficiencies and local and regional promotions, including logo rights for their own use.

Susanne Wilson Environmental Achievement / Business Environmental Network Awards

In 2001 the Susanne Wilson Awards program merged with the Business Environmental Network's (BEN) Business Environmental Awards program.

Together these prestigious programs have recognized over 130 companies and organizations in Santa Clara County and the greater South Bay area. We expect this merger to provide a stronger, more effective Awards program for our stakeholders and our community. For more information about the current awards program or an application visit www.Acterra.org/bea.
