The Port of Seattle (Port) annually recognizes customers, tenants, non-profits, and business partners of all sizes with the Sustainable Century Awards. Award winners serve as role models and demonstrate exceptional sustainability and equity leadership in their operations or involvement with Port maritime facilities and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). These businesses and organizations are key partners in helping the Port achieve our sustainability goals set forth in the Century Agenda.
