SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ForeFront Power, a leading developer and asset manager of commercial and industrial-scale solar energy and storage projects, has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2023 honor by The San Francisco Chronicle. ForeFront Power ranked 11^th of the Top 80 Small Companies in the 2023 San Francisco Bay Area Top Workplaces.

In today's market, leaders must ensure they're allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That's paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends."

"This recognition is a testament to our organization's commitment to ensuring each of our employees feels empowered, valued, and respected," said Yumitake Furukawa, ForeFront Power Interim CEO. "We know it's our people that create and uphold ForeFront Power's values, so we're grateful to our entire team for the exceptional culture we've built together."
