Business Sustainability Awards

Nearly 40 projects vied for top honors in the inaugural Business Sustainability Awards, presented by In Business magazine in partnership with Sustain Dane.

The cocktail reception was held at the Crowne Plaza on April 6, 2010 and featured presentations from Jim Hubing, Director of Henry Vilas Zoo, and Tera Johnson, CEO of Tera's Whey. The award presentation followed, recognizing winners in eight categories:
