BOSTON -- NECEC (New England Clean Energy Council and NECEC Institute) awarded Boston-based Next Step Living its 2014 Green Tie Gala Award for Breakout Company of the Year last week.
NECEC’s Breakout Company of the Year award is given to an organization that has stood out from the crowd and has made a breakthrough in their sector, hit an inflection point in revenue growth or its commercialization process and established itself as both an industry leader and market-maker. Past winners of this award include Digital Lumens (2013), Harvest Power (2012) and First Wind (2011). This year, Next Step Living tied with GreenerU, an organization that focuses on sustainability initiatives for higher education.
