Wisconsin Green Tier Conference Feb 4-5 in Madison

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) recognizes that the best businesses in Wisconsin take seriously their role as environmental stewards. These progressive companies actively seek ways to incorporate new technologies and best practices that reduce their environmental footprint.

In creating the award winning Green Tier Program, the DNR offered such businesses a way to step away from the adversarial model of enforcement that is most commonly employed elsewhere to assure compliance with environmental regulations. Instead, Green Tier presents a collaborative system of contracts and charters that meet and exceed the regulatory objectives. Working together, the state and the individual business honor each others' commitment to the environment by creatively and cooperatively developing the plan that will best limit any environmental impact of the business within its community.

Better yet, make plans to attend the 2008 Green Tier Advantage event scheduled for February 4th and 5th at Monona Terrace in Madison. Wisconsin DNR and Wisconsin Environmental Initiative are hosting a series of speakers, discussions, and workshops that show the ways in which responsible Wisconsin businesses have become "a most powerful force for environmental good" through their involvement with the Green Tier Program.
