Small Business BC just finished hosting their 8th Annual Successful You Awards. Always a great event, this year we were especially excited when we were notified that FrogBox was nominated for one of their awards in the “Best Green Business” category. FrogBox was selected because (among other reasons) we provide an environmentally friendly alternative to cardboard moving boxes, we donate 1% of revenue to frog habitat restoration (in all our locations, not just Vancouver), and because of our dedication to using bio-diesel fuel to power our delivery fleet.
We’re excited to announce that FrogBox won the award! Not only that, but we were in great company as it was actually a tie with another fantastic BC based company Down To Earth Health Shop. Down To Earth is located in Northern Fort Nelson and made the brave decision to turn an “asbestos contaminated wreck of a building” into an eco-friendly building to house their store.
Doug Burgoyne was on-hand the night of the event to receive the award and we’d like to send out a big congratulations to Down to Earth Health Shop and a special thanks to Small Business BC as well as all the great people and sponsors that made this years event possible. Thanks for the great celebration, and we’ll see you again next year!
