We are very proud to announce that Luper Neidenthal and Logan was the recipient of the SWACO Board of Trustee Emerald Award!
Awards are also given individually under five other categories of leadership, innovation, partnership, entrepreneurship, and environmental education. However, the winner of the Board of Trustee Award must meet all of the criteria in the five other categories. SWACO awards the Board of Trustee Emerald Award to companies that are innovative and have unprecedented achievements in Environmental Stewardship and Leadership.
Roger Whitaker, Nicole Vanderdoes, and Amanda Bucha attended the event that drew approximately 500 people. Mike Jackson of NBC 4 was the master of ceremonies, and actor Ed Begley, Jr. (of St Elsewhere, Boston Legal, HGTV’s “Living with Ed”, among many more) was the Keynote Speaker. While describing our efforts in the award presentation, SWACO mentioned our Thinking Globally Acting Locally initiative, our proprietary software, our paperless system, our recycling efforts, our double-sided copying policy, our use of recycled paper, and that we were the first Ohio law firm to be named a Climate Challenge Partner by the American Bar Association.
We would like to congratulate the other winners of the SWACO Emerald Awards!!
Other winners under the 5 other categories were:
- Leadership: ReSTORE of the Columbus Chapter of Habitat for Humanity
- Innovation : White Castle Restaurants
- Environmental Education: The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium (My House at Habitat Hollow exhibit) and the Ohio State University William Schiermeier Olentangy River Wetland Research Park
- Entrepreneurship: E-cycle
- Partnership: The Waste Not Center
- Litter Clean-Up: Adena Brook Community
We also thank all of our employees for their cooperation as we have implemented these changes in our office. We know it’s not always easy to make changes, but as speaker Ed Begley, Jr. said, “We can do this!”
We encourage others to start making eco-conscious changes today!
