5. Clean Technology
This category is a ranking of Canada’s top clean innovators providing processes, goods or services that reduces environmental impacts. The companies will be ranked by their revenue-growth percentage over their last four years of operation. The winning companies must be able to prove minimum revenues of $50 thousand in 2017 and $5 million in 2020.

Clean technology is defined as any process, good or service that reduces environmental impacts through:

• Environmental protection activities that prevent, reduce or eliminate pollution or any other degradation of the environment;
• Resource management activities that result in more efficient use of natural resources, thus safeguarding against their depletion; or
• The use of goods that have been adapted to be significantly less energy or resource intensive than the industry standard.

Eligibility criteria for companies applying to this category will be the same as Fast 50; the majority of the company’s revenues MUST come from products or services that have a positive environmental impact in the following areas:

• Carbon emissions reduction potential
• Resources circulation (reduce, reuse and recycle)
• Environmental preservation and safety
