Cascade Engineering will again sponsor the ArtPrize Sustainability Award, which is presented to the artist whose work best reflects the importance of sustainable business practices and the triple bottom line.

The company also invited Susan Lyons, an expert in environmentally intelligent industrial and consumer products, to serve as the juror for the award.

Lyons is the founding principal of Susan Lyons Studio LLC, a collaborative studio based in New York City. Her studio is dedicated to developing “compelling and environmentally intelligent products.”

The Sustainability Award was among the first juried awards in the ArtPrize competition. It was created during the 2009 event, with the mission of generating more awareness and conversation around sustainability in the West Michigan community.

“The Sustainability Award is about more than supporting an artist, it’s supporting an ideal that can have a profound impact on people and our planet,” said Kenyatta Brame, chief administrative officer and services group VP at Cascade Engineering.

About the CFMMI
The CFMMI provides a regional comparison with the manufacturing component of the Industrial Production Index (IPMFG) compiled by the Federal Reserve Board. Although the IPMFG is constructed differently than the CFMMI, it also uses electrical power and hours worked data as measures of industry output for about 60 percent of its total production index.
