Softstar Named One of the Best Green Workplaces in Oregon… Again!
Here at Softstar we were honored to be named one of the 100 Best Green Workplaces in Oregon by Oregon Business in 2016, 2017, and 2018. This year, we are so excited to be included in the category AGAIN for 2019! With so many amazing companies in Oregon working hard to promote sustainability and green workplace practices, it is such an honor to be recognized.
Sustainability has always been at the heart of Softstar, and walking lightly on the earth is one of our core values as a company. As a company, we strive to create a positive, healthy, happy work environment for all employees, and all of us elves embrace the eco-conscious values that have been built into the company. From the materials we use to the building we work in, we do our best to keep the health of the earth in mind through all aspects of the business!
Our new workshop has so many amazing eco-friendly additions, including radiant heat flooring, upcycled building materials, a permeable parking lot, and an employee carpool program. We also have plans to install solar panels on the roof and a raised vegetable garden behind our workshop! Click here to read more about what we do to stay green. We are very proud of what we have accomplished already, but we are also constantly working towards becoming an even more sustainable company here in the USA. Thank you for supporting our business and our sustainability efforts!
We'll find out exactly where we place in the top 100 list at the awards ceremony on May 30. Here's an inspiring keynote from the 2017 ceremony:
