For the past seven months, Fennick McCredie Architecture has been competing, along with 50 mostly-Boston-area workplaces in the Boston area, for the Walk/Ride Day Corporate Challenge, run by Cambridge-based Green Streets Initiative, Inc. On the last Friday of each month from April through October, companies invited staff to consider commuting in “greener”, more active ways, and to log their commutes online. The companies were then compared based on their size, percent and volume of staff checking in, percent and volume of “green switches”, and a host of other data gathered.

Overall, FMA received 1st place in both the size category (11-100 staff) and the sector category (architecture firm)!

“This competition was something co-founder Deborah Fennick was passionate about. Since most of the employees at FMA already take public transportation, bike or walk to work each day, we wanted to show our support by competing for a healthier and environmentally friendlier commute.”
