PORTLAND, OCTOBER 14, 2014 — Cambia Health Solutions has achieved Sustainability at Work’s silver certification in recognition of its leadership helping make Portland one of the cleanest, most sustainable cities in the country.

“Cambia is dedicated to creating a sustainable system for both health care and the environment,” says Jackie Yerby, sustainability program manager at Cambia. “Being good stewards of the environment goes hand-in-hand with being good stewards of our members’ health. It also inspires pride in our employees.”

Cambia’s sustainability program in its Portland office includes a robust bike commute program, subsidized transit passes for employees, a corporate cafeteria operated by Bon Appetit that donates surplus, unsold food to Urban Gleaners, as well as LEED-EB Platinum certification for its 200 Market building.
