Announcing the 2020 Carolinas Sustainable Business Awards finalists

The USGBC North Carolina and USGBC South Carolina communities share the awards finalists.

The Sustainable Business Awards promote and recognize excellence in sustainable design, environmental stewardship and community impact, and highlight the green building initiatives and achievements of local projects, businesses and individual leaders. Given in several categories, our project awards honor innovative, high-performance buildings that are leading the way throughout the Carolinas.

Winners will be announced during a special, virtual ceremony at the annual Carolinas Green Gala celebration, which will be held on Oct. 29 from 5:30–7 p.m. Event attendees will also have the opportunity to vote which of the nominees will take home the prestigious People's Choice Award. Please visit the gala website to register and learn more.
