TAMPA, Fla. — NaturZone Pest Control was a recent recipient of a University of Tampa Sustainable Business Award. The awards recognize bay area companies leading the commitment to social, economic and environmental responsibility.
The Sustainable Business Awards are sponsored by the Sustany Foundation and recognize and honor for-profit businesses in the Tampa Bay Area that engage in practices that increase economic opportunities and improve the environment and community.
Businesses that we recognized for contributions in building a sustainable economy in Tampa Bay, while embracing the “triple bottom line” — advancing the interests of people, planet and profit through innovative practices, products and services.
University of Tampa MBA students, under the guidance of UT faculty at the Sykes College of Business, developed an evaluation process based primarily on Global Reporting Initiative guidelines. Nominated businesses were evaluated by MBA students, who made recommendations to the Sustainable Business Coalition for the Award.
On hand to accept the award on behalf of NaturZone was Andrew Longfellow.
