Environmental Benchmarking Series

Tab/Accordion Items

The ESI Environmental Benchmarking Series is designed to facilitate peer-sharing of information and opportunities for attendees to learn from each other.  ESI members host events that focus on a specific environmentally-related topic.  Those in attendance get a rare opportunity to see how another organization achieves its environmental performance goals or compliance obligations and can take that information and knowhow back to their own facility.  Most of these events include tours of the area where the topic of the day has been addressed.  All events include real world application of environmental efforts and plenty of networking time.  Benchmarking events are open to any interested organization not just ESI members.
