ES&H, Inc. has been recognized by Environmental Business Journal (EBJ) for the second consecutive year. ES&H, Inc. was honored in Business Achievement: Small C&E Firms Honorable Mention. EBJ is the leading business newsletter for the environmental industry since 1988. It will honor winners of the 2009 EBJ Business Achievement Awards at the Environmental Industry Summit VIII to be held at the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego on March 3, 2010.

“It was encouraging to see so many companies submitting award nominations despite the state of the economy in 2009,” said EBJ Editor-in-Chief Grant Ferrier. “While the bar for growth and profitability admittedly was lowered somewhat in our Business Achievement Awards category because of the recession, the amount of projects using innovative approaches and the use of new technology in the environmental market was remarkable.”

Additionally, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce named ES&H, Inc., along with 24 other businesses, Free Enterprise Honorees for their strong business practices and contributions to the economy. ES&H, Inc. was nominated by the Knoxville Chamber along with more than a dozen other Knoxville Chamber members for the U.S. Chamber Small Business Awards program. All nominees were past winners of a Knoxville Chamber Pinnacle Business Award and met the U.S. Chamber’s criteria.

Lastly, Bill Garibay, President of ES&H, Inc., was selected as a Mentor for the Knoxville Chamber’s Mentor Protégé Program. The Mentor Protégé Program is an effort by the Knoxville Chamber to pair small, minority owned businesses with companies that have shown leadership in the business community and have experience in providing business coaching and mentoring.
