Description
Managing our environmental impact as businesses is no longer just an aspirational nice-to-have. Many fortune 100 companies are now requiring their suppliers to show proof of their sustainability actions and results in order to maintain their contracts. Government regulations are sure to follow.
Join us on April 25th at the Cincinnati Zoo as we invite EACC members past, present and future to share their stories and expertise for the sole purpose of providing you with actionable ideas and tools you can implement to reduce your waste, be it in the form of energy, water and/or pollutants.
► How do you determine where you are (your baseline)?
► What steps can you take in your production facility – from packaging to cleaning to managing your energy consumption?
► Where do you start? Whom do you to talk to?
This industry-focused, senior-leadership conference will include: a plenary session with Keynote followed by 3 breakout sessions led by our Bridge Builder members Altix Consulting, Modula and Melink Solar. And of course, we will have the incredible experience and story of the Cincinnati Zoo, whose commitment to sustainability for the planet has been widely documented and referenced as best-in-class.
