Water and energy conservation firm takes home Gold medal on 2nd annual list that recognizes private environmental services companies that put purpose before profit

MIAMI, December 7, 2021 – ecofi has been named to Inc.’s 2021 Best in Business list, earning the Gold medal in the Environmental Services category. The award recognizes private companies that prioritize purpose over profit.

Recognizing Business as a Force for Good

Inc.’s Best in Business Awards celebrate companies making a positive impact beyond their bottom line. The list appears in the Winter issue of Inc. magazine (on newsstands December 14) and highlights small- and medium-sized privately held U.S. businesses influencing their industries, communities, and the environment.

To date, ecofi has helped over 215,000 people across 28 states. Its programs have saved more than 4.8 billion gallons of freshwater, 131,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide, and 188 million kilowatt hours in energy.

ecofi’s Mission and Impact

“We are honored to be named the top Environmental Services solution on Inc.’s Best in Business list,” said Richard Lamondin, CEO and co-founder of ecofi. “My brother and I started ecofi nine years ago after seeing a need for water conservation in real estate. We’ve scaled our impact nationwide, thanks to partners who share our mission. Winning Gold from Inc. proves that conservation is good for business.”

Inc.’s Selection Process

Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc., stated, “What started as a way to highlight companies helping during the pandemic has grown into a recognition of social, environmental, and economic impact. This year’s honorees are changemakers with heart, investing their best efforts into people and communities.”

Unlike rankings based on sales or funding, Inc.’s editors reviewed applicants based on their positive impact over the past year. More than 2,700 companies applied, with an acceptance rate in the low single digits. Honorees in 49 industries—including finance, software, engineering, and fashion—are featured online at inc.com/best-in-business.
