Strong Tower Consulting Receives COLOR's Inclusive Workplace Award for Second Consecutive Year

75% female workplace and carbon neutral consulting provide holistic solutions for client and consultant alike

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Strong Tower Consulting, a Washington state-based management-consulting firm, is honored to announce that it has been awarded the COLOR Inclusive Workplace Award for the second consecutive year. This prestigious recognition celebrates Strong Tower’s exceptional, and ongoing, commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion within the workplace. As a certified Disability-Owned Business Enterprise (DOBE), and a Women-Owned Business Enterprise, Strong Tower’s diversity and inclusion initiatives create an environment where differences are celebrated and leveraged for the collective success of the organization.

With a workforce of more than 75% female employees, Strong Tower has created unique programs to support women such as the Women’s Leadership and Development Group and Returning Caregivers program, which provide formal and informal mentorship and company-wide initiatives ensuring each woman at Strong Tower can reach her full potential.

"From the beginning to today, we have fostered diversity and inclusion because it creates a workplace where our talent feels valued, and by bringing more perspectives and ideas to the table we serve the best interest of our clients. By bringing a wide range of experience, backgrounds, and perspectives to each client project, our team can create more holistic solutions," said Lorna Croswell, Strong Tower Partner. "Our consultants value being part of a company that lives out its values on a daily basis, so we will continue to let these fundamental virtues lead us through growth."

Best Companies Group, a renowned authority in workplace excellence assessments, partnered with COLOR Magazine, a publication dedicated to diversity and inclusion in the corporate world, to identify organizations that prioritize inclusivity in their workplaces. The comprehensive evaluation process included a thorough assessment of workplace policies, practices, and employee feedback.

Strong Tower also operates as a 100% carbon neutral firm, actively discloses emissions and is decarbonizing the company’s operations and supply chain to drive down the carbon footprint. The company also encourages lower carbon work patterns while offsetting transportation and energy use by investing in clean energy programs and planting one tree for every week worked by each of the firm’s team members.

In recent years, Strong Tower has been recognized for several other key awards including two time Microsoft Prestige Award Supplier of Year Finalists (2023, 2024), Inclusive Workplace - Best Companies Group COLOR Magazine, Best Places to Work in Consulting (2024-2025) – Best Companies Group, Disability:IN Supplier of the Year (2019), Corporate Champion for Economic Development (2021) – The Puget Sound Business Journal, Washington State’s “100 Best Companies To Work For” (2021, 2022, 2023) – Seattle Business magazine, Washington’s Most Equitable Workplace (2020) – The Puget Sound Business Journal.
