Presented by Northwest Environmental Business Council, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, and U.S. EPA – Region 10, the Business & the Environment Conference is an event for today’s environmental & operations managers.

While regulatory compliance is the cornerstone of environmental management, other operational elements such as energy efficiency, waste minimization, and product stewardship not only benefit the environment but also directly contribute to reducing costs, improving profitability, and enhancing competitiveness.

This conference brings these elements together to help companies thrive in today’s economy. Sessions will cover: Regulatory Updates, Managing Cleanup, Managing Energy, Managing Water, Managing Wastes, Money & the Environment, Markets & the Environment, and People & Processes.
