Greenleaf Commission creates award to honor business, environmental diligence

Nominees sought for first award
announced at Chamber event in February

The city’s Greenleaf Commission on Sustainability established a new award to recognize a Livonia business or organization that successfully balances environmental and economic strategies.

The Livonia Greenleaf Award was created to recognize a Livonia entity which implements sustainable environmental practices, social responsibility and economic development in their operations.

Modeled on the “Triple Bottom Line” approach, Commission Chairman Jim Baringhaus said award-winning organizations would demonstrate to our community the idea of environmental quality, economic prosperity, and social equity are equally important.

In collaboration with the City of Livonia, Livonia Chamber of Commerce, and the Greenleaf Commission on Sustainability, this award recognizes Livonia organizations that demonstrate their commitment to making Livonia a more sustainable, green community.

The inaugural Livonia Greenleaf Award will be handed out along with other business and community honors Thursday, Feb. 19, 2015, during the Livonia Chamber’s annual Leadership and Awards Celebration at Laurel Manor.

To apply for this award or for additional information on the Livonia Greenleaf Award, visit the city website at www.ci.livonia.mi.us.
