The Best Evergreen Companies list and the Evergreen Company of the Year award give us, at Tugboat Institute®, an opportunity to celebrate and elevate wonderful Evergreen companies and our Evergreen movement, in a language that society understands.
We chose not rank order our Best Evergreen Companies list to avoid unnecessary competition between these exceptional companies that earned a spot on the list, allowing us to celebrate all equally. Companies become eligible for inclusion on this list by either becoming Certified Evergreen® or by hosting two-and-a-half day Tugboat Institute Exemplar Visit.
Both of these paths require a deep, introspective dive into practices across all of the Evergreen 7Ps® principles, and provide tangible measures of Evergreen maturity across each of the principles and into overall excellence. The winner of Evergreen Company of the Year in turn will be awarded to one company that truly distinguished itself over long periods of time thus earning the extra recognition of this pinnacle award that can be won only once.
