Measure The Certified Evergreen® Assessment seeks to measure a company’s performance according to the tenets of the Evergreen® 7Ps and its ability to endure over a long period of time. Grow This certification process is designed for companies interested in growing and maturing their business to have a long-term, positive impact on employees, customers, suppliers, owners, communities, and families. Data Companies that choose to be assessed are required to submit data across a broad range of business practices. Data will be compiled from Evergreen® companies across different industries,sizes, and geographies. Comparative benchmark data is available for companies who choose this level of service. Recognition Companies that become Certified Evergreen® have undergone an extensive, rigorous assessment with the intention of continual improvement and enduring excellence around values, practices, and people. Once certified, these Evergreen® companies join a select peer group of similarly purpose-driven organizations that attract top talent, valuable partners, and loyal customers. The Certified Evergreen® mark validates the commitment to excellence and longevity that these businesses share. What Are the Evergreen® 7ps? The Evergreen® 7Ps™ are the defining tenets of Evergreen® businesses. The Evergreen® 7Ps are: Purpose Perseverance People First Private Profit Paced Growth Pragmatic Innovation The first three Ps define the character of the people, and the last four Ps reflect the long-term strategic tenets of an Evergreen® business. Evergreen® Businesses Represent Capitalism at Its Best Evergreen® companies are private, profitable, enduring, and market-leading businesses that make a dent in the universe. They put their purpose and people first and avoid decisions that impose a growth-at-all-costs or exit-oriented mindset, which benefits both the communities they serve and our society. They are everywhere. They exist in every industry, state, and size, and span from owner-operator to sixth generation businesses over 150 years old. They value their employees. Evergreen® companies land on best places to work lists across outlets, year after year. They endure. Evergreen® companies have much higher longevity than public companies and are designed for much greater resilience through economic cycles than private equity or venture capital-backed firms. Forbes’s Top 10 Private Companies average almost 100 years. They are impactful. As resilient employers, Evergreen® companies are invaluable to their communities. Employees can have meaningful jobs, support healthy families, and contribute to their local communities. With no intention to sell, these organizations avoid the otherwise inevitable loss of jobs, top local talent, and IP from the communities they serve. How Do Companies Get Certified? Companies pursuing certification via the Certified Evergreen® program go through an assessment and evaluation by Tugboat Institute®. The assessment is based on data provided by a company’s cross-functional leadership. The assessment looks at company history and track record, culture and rewards, innovation and people metrics, financial performance, and future readiness. Tugboat Institute is not only interested in how a company’s business practices were designed and intended but how they are practiced in the organization and their effectiveness today. An employee survey is distributed to employees across various levels of the organization and of tenure with the company as part of the assessment to provide this insight.
