For the second year in a row, EasyStreet joins 100 other sustainability-minded companies who made Oregon Business Magazine’s “Best Green Companies to Work For” list. EasyStreet reserved a table at the June 1 festivities held this year at the Grand Ballroom of the Hilton Hotel in downtown Portland.
The event keynote speaker, Adam Lane, Ecotrust’s CFO and COO, pointed out that this year’s winners don’t just talk about sustainability as it becomes “little black dress of the business marketing world.” These companies not only talk the talk, they also walk the walk. “These organizations are the real deal,” he says.

EasyStreet is once again one of three finalists selected for TechAmerica Oregon’s Technology-Service Company of the Year award. We are honored to be recognized for our “accomplishments, leadership and commitment to the community and industry.”
The winners will be announced at an event on May 6 at the Portland Art Museum. The proceeds from the evening will support math and science education.

It’s not often being 20th on any list is brag-worthy, but EasyStreet was blown away to be ranked number 20 on Oregon Business magazine’s 2009 list of 100 Best Green Companies to Work for in Oregon. The awards ceremony was held at the Gerding Theatre last night. For the 2009 survey, nearly 30,000 Oregon workers rated satisfaction and importance in five statements related to sustainable practices.
Because the awards are based on employee input, Oregon Business Publisher Andrew Insinga said these awards are all about “what these companies are doing to be green when nobody’s looking.” Even Governor Kulongoski stopped by to offer his congratulations. And we were delightfully serenaded by the Portland Cello Project.

Performance artist Drew Slum delivers his rapid-fire rap-poem, “Ode to the 100 Best,” in which he cleverly incorporates the names of all 100 companies on the list. I hope he publishes it somewhere for everyone to read — it’s amazing! (Thanks to Susan Hayden for the photo!)
I must congratulate the TechAmerica staff on a well-run Oregon Technology Awards event last week. The program really moved along with short and snappy videos about each finalist organization and a two-minute limit imposed on the “Cool Product of the Year” pitches. (GadgetTrak® won the Cool Product title. I may have to try that particular cool product myself, having lost a Mac laptop to some sticky-fingered lowlives a few months ago…)
EasyStreet was proud to be one of three finalists in the “Technology Service Company of the Year” category, presented to “the Technology-Service company that has made the biggest positive impact to their customers and the region.” ACME Business Consulting LLC captured the top honors (congratulations, ACME!), but we were sincerely delighted to be on the list of finalists, along with Integra Telecom.
