If the sustainability initiative that the applicant would like to highlight does not fall into any of these categories, they will be able to select “Other” to elaborate on specifics.
Applicants will also be asked general questions about their corporate sustainability goals and will be able to share any other achievements they would like to bring to our attention.
Judges for this program include directors from all GH Institute Labs combined with leading experts in the field. The judges will review submissions by examining measurable criteria, which the applicants will be entering on the submission form. For example, if an entrant would like to highlight their efforts in consumer packaging, they will be able to declare details such as material type and origin, product to packaging weight ratio, recyclability, compliance with model legislation and innovation.
A-Mart In Pittsfield Re-Opens
After an arson fire last October that burnt A-Mart Convenience Store to the ground, the North Street A-mart is once again open for business.
Iberkshires.com reports A-Mart officially reopened to the public on the Tuesday before Christmas. Owner Yogesh Patel said the store itself hasn t changed much besides the expansion of retail space in what used to be a barbershop in the L-shaped building.
The business has been a part of downtown Pittsfield for some three decades, making grocery, deli and other items accessible to residents of the lower-income area who may not have means of transportation.
