Portland design-build firm Green Hammer is continuing to gain recognition for its efforts relating to sustainability.

First, among certified B corporations worldwide, Green Hammer was named a 鈥淏est For the World鈥� honoree both in the environment category and overall. This recognition was bestowed by B Lab, the international nonprofit that certifies B Corporations, which have pledged to improve their environmental practices, employee relationships, diversity, involvement in the community and more. At last count there were more than 3,000 B Corporations from 64 countries and representing 150 different industries.

Separately, Green Hammer was recognized by Fast Company as a 2019 Innovation by Design award winner for its work designing and building Tillamook Row, a zero-energy community in North Portland. This five-building development produces a net surplus of electricity through its 82 kilowatt solar array and efficient building designs.

Also, among 252 reporting 2030 Commitment signatories, Green Hammer was one of only 16 in the U.S. to achieve at least 70 percent predicted energy use intensity (pEUI) savings across their entire portfolio in 2018.
