12th Annual Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council Conference
​
​
The sustainability profession is evolving, with new ideas, concerns and solutions developing simultaneously and rapidly. Our annual conference is a place for business leaders to learn, share, explore current trends, and to form and nourish valuable connections. This year, the conference’s goal is to deliver relevant and timely concepts and practices that move you forward on your sustainability journey.
​
We organized the conference into three tracks: 1. Starting Strong. 2. Growing your Program and 3. Deep Dive
​
Whether you are just getting started organizing your company around sustainability or you already have a developed sustainability program, this conference will deliver value to help you reach your desired future goals. Through a diverse and experienced array of speakers, we are hand-selecting subject matter experts that will move you forward on your sustainability continuum.
Join us so that together WE can continue to advance sustainable business practices in Wisconsin and beyond.
Evolving Sustainability
We were proud to work with Natural Capital Partners to make the 2019 conference a CarbonNeutral® event. The certification means that the emissions generated from heating, lighting, waste, and all attendees' travel will be balanced out by supporting an emission reduction project that will reduce the equivalent amount of CO2.
Offsets are from the Mississippi Vally Reforestation project - reforesting one million hectares of native woodland to restore one of North America's most important ecosystems. To learn more about the project detail, visit the project website.
