The Pittsburgh Green Workplace challenge enables
businesses to participate in a friendly challenge program where they can
receive recognition for their sustainable actions and achievements.
Pashek Associates is leading 12 businesses in the small
business category (less than 50 people).
According to Valerie Patrick, PhD and Sustainability Coordinator
for Bayer Corporation, "sustainability is a way of thinking and applies to
every aspect of our work." We couldn't agree with her more.
Pashek Associates received points by tracking utility
bills using an EPA website, being a bike friendly business, having a Prius for
a corporate car, and planting native plants on the roof of their building. Green office policies of using washable cups
and recycling also contributed to the firm's leadership position in the challenge. Next up is an energy audit to begin reducing
energy demand and our carbon footprint.
