Green Masters Program
9-time Green Masters Recipient
In 2009, Evolution Marketing was one of nine original businesses in Wisconsin to pilot the Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council’s Green Masters Program® (a non audited third party sustainability assessment program). The program was redesigned and relaunched in 2023, and Evolution Marketing once again led the way by becoming one of the first Wisconsin businesses to achieve Green Master status in the new program. Evolution Marketing achieved the highest score in the Greenhouse Gas Emissions category (non-manufacturing company) across all participating Wisconsin based companies.
Interested in utilizing the Green Masters Program® to map your sustainability journey? We’re here to help! The program offers a robust framework that goes beyond mere assessment, empowering companies to benchmark their progress in key areas like greenhouse gas emissions, waste reduction, and community engagement. As one of the first Wisconsin businesses to achieve Green Master status in the redesigned program, we bring deep insight into every step of the process. Whether you're aiming for measurable impact or aligning your operations with sustainable best practices, we’ll work with you to harness the program’s tools, creating a pathway tailored to your company’s values and goals.
