Green jobs are here and now is the time to honor the innovative companies that are creating them. With support from the Citi Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation, SJF Advisory Services and Green For All have joined to launch a Green Jobs Award Program, which seeks to annually identify, recognize, and promote private companies that are leaders in quality green job creation.

Intended to honor outstanding businesses that are contributing to the economy and the environment, the program is open to private companies with at least $1 million in revenue and a business model that preserves or enhances environmental quality. Applicants will be judged on the quality of the jobs and benefits, diversity of employment opportunities, and employee and community engagement.

Winners will be recognized at an award dinner and featured in the media and in case studies and articles to be distributed by SJF Advisory Services and Green For All. Data on the winners, and all companies applying, will be compiled, creating a database of innovative green job creators that can be tapped to help to tell the story of the inherent potential of a green economy.

Winners of the First Annual Green Jobs Award will be announced in the fall. An Advisory Board of experts in the fields of in social entrepreneurship, green business, environmental impact, social justice, workforce development and engagement, and economic development will assist in selection of the winners.
