Greater Cleveland Partnership: Sustainability Summit

Sustainability is more than a buzzword, it’s a market trend impacting large and small businesses in business-to-business and consumer markets. Large public and private companies are pursuing sustainability business opportunities and commitments; in turn, they are seeking supply partners that can help them meet their objectives resulting in a durable competitive advantage for those small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can meet customers’ needs.

The summit is an opportunity to learn more about growth opportunities, business reporting requirements and grant and loan options. This inaugural event will bring together sustainability leaders from large companies, interested SMEs and experts for educational discussions.

The half-day conference will:

• Provide large companies an opportunity to discuss innovation opportunities, sustainability reporting and auditing and board and management practices
• Provide SMEs guidance on business opportunities, new reporting expectations, available resources and best practices.
• Highlight market-driven business and innovation opportunities
• Present financing and grant opportunities from banks, tax credits and grant programs
