Environmental Business Journal, Volume 38 Numbers 1/2: Q1 2025 EBJ Awards 2024 & 2025 Executive Review
Environmental Business Journal® presents its annual EBJ Business Achievement Awards for outstanding business performance in 2024. Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to all the companies that submitted nominations. Following almost 20 pages of C&E industry overview, and seasoned perspective from two leading environmental law firms, company Q&A profiles expand on natural resource and air quality markets and adjacent services.
In October-December 2024, Environmental Business Journal solicited the environmental industry via e-mail, website, social media, traditional media, referrals from industry advisors and word-of-mouth for nominations for the EBJ Business Achievement Awards. Nominations were accepted in 200-word essays in either specific or unspecified categories. Categories or size designations may have been adjusted depending on the volume of nominations or the number of worthy recipients. Final awards were determined by a committee of EBJ staff and EBJ editorial advisory board members.
The 2024 EBJ awards will be presented at an official awards ceremony and EBJ & CCBJ Awards presentation banquet as part of Environmental Industry Summit XXIII in Coronado, California, across the bay from downtown San Diego on Thursday, April 3, 2025 from 7-9pm. Environmental Industry Summit XXIII runs from Wednesday, April 2 through Friday, April 4, 2025. The Environmental Industry Summit is an annual event hosted by EBJ.
