Santa Monica’s tradition of honoring its environmentally-conscious businesses continues, with the naming of this year’s finalists for the Sustainable Quality Awards (SQA).

For 11 years the SQA has celebrated business’ achievements in economic development, social responsibility and stewardship of the natural environment.

The annual awards are sponsored by the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce and City Hall.

“Versatile, dynamic, responsive and profitable businesses are required as the driving force for sustainable communities and contribute to the on going integration and resolution of environmental, social and economic challenges,” said Kathy Dodson, president and CEO of the chamber.

This year’s finalists have made a commitment to leadership in sustainable business practices and are part of the driving force in a sustainable Santa Monica. They include: Allen Janitorial Supply; The Ambrose Hotel; Boys and Girls Club; California Recycles; EDSA; Euphoria café; Koning Eizenberg Architecture; Patagonia; RAND Corp.; UnUrban Coffeehouse; and Waldorf, ECC.

The judging will take place in early April and winners will be honored at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon on May 2 and at the Santa Monica Festival on May 13.

The luncheon will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on May 2 at the Le Merigot Hotel. Tickets can be purchased at www.smchamber.com/events.
