Sustainable before it was cool
When we got our start in 1994, “going green” required a bottle of hair dye, not a corporate strategy. Since then, we’ve been a go-to resource for organizations in the public and private sectors that want to do better for the planet.
Our history
Meet Tiffany Wilmot, or "Tiff" as her friends affectionately call her.
Originally from Canada, she made her way to Nashville by way of California, where she became a true pioneer on the sustainability landscape. Over 30 years ago, she founded Wilmot Inc., which became the gold standard for recycling, waste management, and eco-friendly construction. With a passion for both the environment and community, she has continually raised the bar in the industry, helping organizations across the United States and beyond thrive while making a positive impact on our planet.
Today, Tiffany remains dedicated to the work she loves, mentoring women through the organization she founded, Tennessee Women in Green. She also spends time guiding young people who are looking to forge a path in the sustainability space.
When she’s not on a job site, you might find her teaching a yoga class. She's also a devoted dog mom to Bea, her lovable companion who shares in her many adventures.
