ATLANTA — J.M. Huber, a sixth-generation family-owned business, has earned the 2020 Sustainability in Family Business Award from The International Institute for Management Development (IMD), a Swiss business school, and the Pictet Group, a global wealth management company. The award acknowledges family-owned enterprises that stand out for their efforts, performance and progress in the area of sustainability.
