  • The Good Stuff

  • In this section we ask about all the good that your business or organization is doing for our community, local economy, and the environment. We collect this information to be able to share all the great things you're doing, and to learn where we can create accessible pathways for businesses to advance their good practices. Note: You will be asked to share any third-party certifications or memberships you might have later in this application form, so there is no need to list them in this section.

  • EnviroStars is a free, one-stop hub for Washington businesses to get information, help, and recognition for actions that protect their workplace, the community, and the planet. Through EnviroStars, Seattle Good Business Network members are offered free technical assistance to find easy ways to adopt sustainable business practices. Whether you're just starting to explore, or you’re looking to take it to the next level, EnviroStars meets you where you are today.
  • A circular economy aims to redefine the way we live, work, and do business. It changes our extractive “take, use, and throw away” model, to a more environmentally and socially regenerative one. While there are a number of business practices that are relevant to a circular economy, we aim to highlight businesses that go beyond the everyday practices of recycling, composting, and donating of excess goods.

    Businesses who participate in the circular economy at 'the next level', either materialistically, socially, or economically, employ the following practices, which include, but are not limited to: predominant use of upcycled/recycled materials, a zero-waste action plan; provide fair-wage jobs and pipelines to permanent careers for folks from underrepresented communities; source over 60% of their energy from renewable sources.

    In approving your application, we will also look for you to display circular economy practices in your mission, values, or website. Does your company or organization prioritize and actively take part in the circular economy?

  • Please briefly describe below how your business or organization employs circular practices or provide a link (URL) to a page that contains that information:
  • Does your business employ the following ethical sourcing practices? [select all that apply]
  • If you selected "other," please provide a brief explanation of your company or organization's efforts to source sustainably.
  • Is your organization committed to charitable or community giving?
  • Please indicate your organization’s dedication to community giving by providing a URL to a specific page on your website or social media that states your commitment to community giving or enter a short description of your activities.
  • Company is a cooperative or worker-owned or is in the process of transitioning to a cooperative model.
  • Youth Engagement

  • Our youth programming helps to connect local youth, from historically underrepresented and low-income communities, to meaningful learning, career, and leadership opportunities. If you're interested in learning more about how you can engage, support, or raise awareness of our youth programming, please check below and we’ll be in touch.

  • Please let us know which additional third-party certifications or memberships you have, separated by commas.
  • Upload the company logo you would like to display on your profile page. Please use a white or transparent background. Recommended size of 1200+ pixel width/height; maximum upload size of 5MB (.jpeg, .jpg, .gif, or .png format only). Please note if you only upload your company logo this image will stretch the full width of your profile page. This does not work well. We suggest uploading at minimum one additional image to your photo gallery. (please see next section)
    Accepted file types: jpeg, jpg, gif, png, Max. file size: 256 MB.
  • Upload up to 5 photos to display on your profile page. The first image you select to upload will be your "featured" image. Recommended size of 1200+ pixel width/height; maximum upload size of 5MB (.jpeg, .jpg, .gif, or .png format only). Please note if you only upload one image it crops the image. For example, if you add a picture of yourself as the only image it will crop and possibly just show your mouth. This does not work well. We suggest uploading a minimum of two image to your photo gallery unless your one is a long horizontal image.
