GOtham GREEN®

Gotham GREEN^®provides a platform for businesses and professionals who seek to connect and promote sustainable business opportunities, practices and relationships.

Gotham GREEN^® was formed in spring 2007 to bring together business people interested in the green business sector in New York City. With green “consciousness” on the rise, there is a great need for business people with a green perspective to find like-minded people, share resources and information, and to support one another. A definition of a green business from the nonprofit organization Co-op America is, “Green businesses operate in ways that solve, rather than cause, both environmental and social problems. These businesses adopt principles, policies, and practices that improve the quality of life for their customers, their employees, communities, and the environment.”

GOtham GREEN® annually recognizes worthy businesses, non-profits and individuals with Gotham Green Awards®. Learn more about the awards and the winners for 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, and 2017.

Apply, or recommend a worthy friend or colleague, for the next round of the Gotham Green Awards®, announced annually at a GOtham GREEN® afternoon program held the Tuesday prior to Thanksgiving.
