Motz Recognized on the Best Evergreen Companies® List by Tugboat Institute®
Motz is proud to announce that it has been named one of the 2024 Best Evergreen Companies® by Tugboat Institute®. This annual recognition honors privately held companies that embody the Evergreen 7Ps® principles—Purpose, Perseverance, People First, Private, Profit, Paced Growth, and Pragmatic Innovation—and commit to building businesses designed to last 100 years or more.
The Best Evergreen Companies list shines a light on businesses across industries and geographies that have demonstrated the highest levels of excellence in living out the Evergreen 7Ps principles. Each of these companies has undergone a rigorous evaluation process and stands out for their commitment to remaining private, growing with purpose, and building businesses that endure while contributing meaningfully to their people, communities, and society.
“We are honored to be recognized by Tugboat Institute as one of the 2024 Best Evergreen Companies. At Motz, our mission has always been rooted in building a company that lasts - one that puts people first, perseveres through challenges, and innovates with intention. Having also received this recognition in 2023, we are especially grateful to see our long-term commitment affirmed again this year as we continue to grow with purpose and make a lasting, positive impact on our team, our partners, and the communities we serve.”
This year’s Best Evergreen Companies list includes 25 outstanding businesses from industries ranging from technology and finance to consumer goods, healthcare, and construction. Motz is proud to stand among these leaders who demonstrate that Evergreen companies can thrive in every sector of the economy.
“Evergreen companies represent the best of what business can be,” said Dave Whorton, Founder and CEO of Tugboat Institute. “They are led by people who take the long view, who put people and communities at the center, and who consistently choose to build enduring private companies that make society stronger. We are honored to celebrate them through this exciting recognition awards program.”
