Batavia Green Business Ole Application
The Batavia Environmental Commission (BEC) has recently partnered with the Batavia Chamber of Commerce to recognize businesses that are engaging in environmentally friendly practices.

The areas of achievement chosen are based on the goals that the BEC has identified as important to Batavia, environmentalism today, and the world at large. There are six of these areas: water quality and conservation, energy conservation, promoting healthy ecosystems, handling of waste, maintaining or improving air quality, and education of employees about green initiatives. Please do not feel obligated to fill out all six of the categories, as that is not a requirement for completing the form or winning the award. We want applicants to showcase and highlight their strengths and it is perfectly acceptable to only fill out information for one or two categories. Applications will be considered on depth, not just breadth. If the BEC has multiple qualified candidates, a site visit may be necessary in order to make a final decision.

Please use this form to complete your application for the Annual Batavia Green Business Ole, to be awarded in 2021!
