The City of Columbus' annual GreenSpotLight awards celebration recognized three businesses for their outstanding sustainability practices. The large, medium and small organizations awards go to OhioHealth, E.P. Ferris, and MAD Scientist Associates. Members of the GreenSpot Advisory Board selected the three awardees using information provided in the businesses' GreenSpot annual reports.

"In order for businesses to be successful, they need to integrate sustainability into their core mission. These GreenSpotLight awardees demonstrate that it is possible."
