Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC) — the combined state chamber and manufacturers’ association — announced nine companies as recipients of the Wisconsin Business Friend of the Environment Award, including two from Dane County. For 34 years, WMC has presented this award to companies that have demonstrated environmental leadership through sustainability, stewardship, and innovation.
Awards are presented based on company size (small, medium, and large categories) and type of environmental activity. Businesses must demonstrate they have made significant improvements in one of three areas: sustainability, environmental stewardship, or environmental innovation.
Dane County’s 2024 Business Friend of the Environment Award winners are:
-
Stoughton Trailers, Stoughton (sustainability); and
-
Virent Inc., Madison (environmental innovation).
Award winners were selected by an independent panel of judges who represent the business community and environmentalists. Learn more about the Business Friend of the Environment Awards here.
