Sustainability Networks driven by Working Groups
Collaborative hubs focused on strengthening community around sustainability.
The Sustain SoCal Working Groups
Working Groups provide a forum for networking and idea exchange. Our Members, consisting of corporations large and small, government agencies, nonprofits, cleantech startups, universities, hospitals, and more, gather to track policies, identify pain points, discover business opportunities, find new partners, and develop solutions.
Meetings occur once a month. Members join on behalf of their organization. If the primary representative is unable to make a meeting, a coworker is welcome to attend on their behalf.
Working Groups contribute to a more sustainable Southern California region and improve the resiliency of our Members’ businesses. By learning from other industry experts, businesses can lay the groundwork for their own growth.
