The Women in Green Forum recognizes the achievements of women across a wide range of environmental topics. Women have defined the green industry by demanding alternatives for traditional toxic products and as the key influencers for consumer purchasing trends they serve as the industry’s strongest advocate by often opting for the greener choice.
