Ruby® named One of “The Best Green Companies to Work For” by Oregon Business Magazine - June 1, 2010

Ruby Receptionists ranked #19 on the 2010 list of Oregon’s Best Green Companies to Work For, and was honored at a luncheon today by the Oregon Business Magazine.  This is a testament to the management at Ruby (for selecting wind power for the office and setting the copy machine to copy two-sided by default) but even more so to the incredible staff at Ruby for organizing green activities (like our notepad making party), jumping in with both feet on our no-waste lunch initiative, and loading their own dishes into the dishwasher to make it feasible not to use disposable stuff!
