2012 Utility Environmental Benchmarking Forum to be held in
Nashville, Tennessee, October 28 - 30, 2012.
Our 2012 Utility Environmental Benchmarking Forum is scheduled for October 28 – 30, 2012, in Nashville, TN. The Forum will take place at the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel, adjacent to Vanderbilt University and downtown Nashville. There will be a kick-off reception Sunday evening, October 28. The preliminary topics for the Utility Environmental Benchmarking Forum are:
- Environmental performance measures and data
- Lessons learned from leading utility companies and energy providers
- Sustainability programs, profitability and effective implementation
The Forum Steering Committee members are identifying agenda topics, as well as guest speaker options. Our intent is to implement many of the ideas which came out at last year’s forum, into this year’s forum agenda, without losing any of the core learning and sharing.
2011 Benchmarking Forum:
The 2011 Utility Environmental Benchmarking Forum (see 2011 Forum photos) and the Fall EPRI Sustainability Interest Group workshop was held in Nashville, Tennessee. Many of the Utility Environmental Benchmarking Forum (UEBF) participant companies are also participants through EPRI’s Sustainability Interest Group. Through discussions with the Forum Steering Committee and EPRI leadership, it was deemed efficient to integrate sustainability discussions. EEI was also engaged in last year’s Forum.
