OEEC recognizes SOAR, along with other Green Business Partners, as part of a growing network of companies and organizations helping to advance climate action and to create a carbon neutral economy.

"At SOAR, we believe that every act of compassion ripples into greater good—for our teams, our communities, and our planet. Being recognized as a Green Business Partner affirms our commitment to sustainability as a core value and not just a corporate initiative.

"We are thrilled to recognize SOAR for its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and embrace sustainability," says OEEC Acting Director John Morrill. "The only way to achieve community-wide carbon neutrality in Fairfax County is for everyone to do their part."

"Green business is good business. No matter the size of the operation, we all can take steps to reduce waste, energy and water usage. Small changes can add up to big savings and can attract and retain environmentally conscious employees and customers."

Green Business Partners is a voluntary program that is free to join and has two levels of participation: Businesses that join as Members have implemented or commit to implementing sustainability practices, and businesses that join as Leaders are certified through a third-party or currently participate in a national or local sustainability program.
