Green Team Series – Walk. Bike. Bus. Pool. Click. Symantec Wins Eugene/Springfield Business Commute Challenge!

This week we bring you a two-part series highlighting activities across our Green Teams. These are just a snapshot of the numerous activities our Green Teams are contributing to every day ranging from volunteering in local communities to spearheading campus-wide sustainability efforts.

Today we begin with a post on our Springfield office’s recent award for sustainable commuting. Following we will bring you an update on the Green Team’s One Mug, One Planet campaign. 

Last month, over 200 Symantec employees at our Springfield office participated in the region’s annual Business Commute Challenge (BCC), and helped our office win in the category for the largest sized companies!

The BCC is an annual week-long, friendly competition amongst local area Eugene-Springfield businesses to promote low impact forms of commuting and challenge companies to save the most non-drive alone trips in one week.
