Business and Environment Series
MEI’s Business and Environment Series is an effort to bring together Minnesota business leaders, representatives from government agencies, and members of the nonprofit sector to develop solutions to environmental issues that impact Minnesota’s business community. Members of these different groups often do not have opportunities to jointly explore issues, collaborate, and learn from each other. A Business and Environment session is a forum for networking and problem-solving. Each session features case studies presented by local business leaders that detail real world examples, highlight take-away action items, and provide participants with resources that help with implementation.

What MEI is doing:
In 2010 the Business and Environment Series will focus on helping Minnesota’s business community add value to their company by integrating sustainability into their operations. Half-day sessions will address various topics related to sustainability in business and will provide attendees opportunities to jointly explore issues, collaborate, and learn from one another.

2010 Business and Environment Session topics:

April 27, 2010: Overcoming Barriers to Sustainability
August 18, 2010: Energy and Sustainability
October 26, 2010: Water Sustainability
