SEATTLE, WA  (October 30, 2013) – Fulcrum Insurance Programs was honored by Seattle Business Magazine as one of Washington state’s most sustainably oriented organizations during the Washington Green 50 Awards on October 29, 2013. 

Winners were selected from a large pool of nominations by a panel of judges from prominent environmental organizations including: Washington Environmental Council, Climate Solutions, Bainbridge Graduate Institute and Washington Clean Technology Alliance.

“Environmental sustainability, especially in relation to cost savings and risk control, is a key focus at Fulcrum Insurance Programs,” said Dusty Rowland, Fulcrum President & CEO. “From internal sustainable business practices to offering Green Replacement Coverage, we actively seek to mitigate the environmental impact of our business.”

As such, in 2009 Fulcrum launched their Risk Purchasing Group that targets and incentivizes businesses that have embraced “Green Initiatives.” This program was created in concert with the creation of The Association of Green Property Owners and Managers (AGPOM) as a key initiative.

AGPOM is a non-profit organization that helps property owners and managers realize the value of environmental-friendly pursuits. The association focuses on existing buildings and targets specific real estate segments (Hotel/Habitational/Warehouses/Office Buildings and Retail). AGPOM’s uses educational messages to drive meaningful improvements to the bottom line of members using predominantly behavior-based strategies to “Greening” a business.

Through AGPOM, Fulcrum is helping property owners and managers make a commitment to a corporate sustainability policy, and are addressing the overlap between going green and the management of business risk. As the exclusive Insurance partner Fulcrum has the ability to offer AGPOM membership to new customers as part of a value-added insurance platform. For Fulcrum clients: the “Greener” an insured, the lower their premiums.
