The Fifth Annual Sustainable Business of the Year Awards Virtual Celebration, organized by the Sustainable Business Network of Massachusetts, will feature WBUR’s award-winning host Robin Young in conversation with leading local businesses in Massachusetts committed to sustainable, equitable and inclusive economy. The virtual event will take place from 7 to 8:30 p.m., January 28, 2021 via Zoom.

With 2020 being a particularly difficult year for local businesses, the event will also discuss ways to better support local businesses and commit to becoming a more fair, equitable and inclusive business community. Attendees will be able to directly engage with the awarded local businesses in learning about their values and best practices, the ways in which they continue to adapt to the COVID-19 health crisis, and how to best support local businesses during this time. The event will include time for networking with others that share the values of local, green and fair.

Other sponsors of the event include Cooperative Fund of New England, Cambridge Trust Company, Longfellow Health Clubs and Massachusetts Health Connector.
