| The Green Standard is helping manufacturers and purchasers interact in a new way – The Sustainability Innovators Circle. The Circle is a yearlong learning program focused in 2009 on “Making Green Products and Services Work.” It is open to members only. |
|
| Participation in the Sustainability Innovators Circle brings education, technology and training to companies and individuals committed to enhancing their green profile and brand. With membership that bridges manufacturing and purchasing across a spectrum of industries, the Sustainability Innovators Circle will enable you to connect with thought leaders, peers, partners, vendors, customers and solutions providers who can help you efficiently reach your sustainability goals. |
|
| In today’s global economy, you need knowledge, contacts, experience and advice. But you also need a sense of connection with like-minded professionals who challenge you to think outside the box. As a member of the Sustainability Innovators Circle, you will be energized by individuals who do what you do, who understand your challenges, and support you in realizing your vision and goals. |
|
| Your company will profit from the exchange of ideas and perspectives between product designers, engineers, project managers, architects, designers, facility managers, educators, purchasers and specifiers – all working to advance a sustainable world. Circle members participate in practical, thought-provoking programs that can lead to the adoption of global best practices in production and consumption. Membership benefits include: |
