Concord, New Hampshire – At New Hampshire Businesses for Social Responsibility’s 5 th Annual Sustainability Slam, sixteen companies and nonprofits took to the stage to share their sustainability stories with impact.

Each finalist competed live against another company or organization in their presenting category (environment, community, workplace or nonprofit), while the audience voted in real time for the night’s winners.

New Hampshire Businesses for Social Responsibility (NHBSR) is pleased to announce the winning storytellers of their 3rd annual Sustainability Slam, held on November 2. The evening continued the great energy and creativity found at the last two year’s events, with a highly engaged audience who cast their votes via electronic polling for the winning sustainability stories. The fourteen finalists presenting at the Slam were selected by a panel of judges based on the creativity of the solution, its impact on the challenge and the scalability for others. Each competed against a similarly sized company or organization, but were given only 90 seconds to share their stories in a creative format. Michelle Veasey, Executive Director of NHBSR shared, “It’s wonderfully encouraging to see businesses and organizations come together in this way to share ideas, connect and encourage each other’s efforts to reduce environmental impact, develop better workplaces and support our communities. It’s a reminder that all it takes is just one thing to make a difference.”
