The event was held at Grand Prix New York in Mount Kisco.
Jim Diamond, chief executive officer of the Mount Kisco-based company, was presented with two proclamations. The first, from County Executive Rob Astorino’s office was presented by William Mooney III, Westchester County director of Economic Development; Peter Harkham, majority leader of the Board of Legislators, District 2; and George Oros, chief of staff for the County Executive’s Office.
State Assemblyman David Buchwald, (D-93rd Assembly District) presented another proclamation from Mount Kisco Mayor J. Michael Cindrich, who was also at the event.
“Me personally and as a company, we care about sustainability,” said Diamond. “It makes sense economically and it makes sense for the environment.”
The WGBC is designed to improve environmental sustainability for businesses throughout the county. It is a public-private partnership between Westchester County government and The Business Council of Westchester, the county’s largest business membership association.
“The Business Council has been a partner from the beginning of the program in 2009,” said Sara James, director of membership for The Business Council of Westchester. “Our mission is to support sustainable economic growth throughout the region.”
The WGBC has 275 Westchester-based members, including 18 businesses that signed on to the pilot of Westchester Green Business-Certified earlier this year.
