Course Description

Corporate America is becoming more committed to sustainability and green practices. The benefits of implementing a sustainability program show up in supply and energy cost savings, more efficient building design, healthier work environments, and recruiting and retention benefits.

MAPCast participants will learn about specific green practices in everyday operations and their impact on energy and supply costs, as well as the impact on productivity, resources for implementing green practices, best practices for paper management, and the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED rating system.
