SESSION 1ENGAGEMENT

The for-profit sector has long hesitated to make up-front investments in sustainable practices, prioritizing present gains over future probabilities. This panel will dispel the common myths around corporate sustainability, providing data and case studies, demonstrating that sustainable practices can and do save money, prevent inefficiencies, and when leveraged strategically, they can provide organizations a leading edge over the competition, proving that sustainable practices are a win-win for the environment and profitability.

+ Dr. Amrou Awaysheh, Indiana University Kelley School of Business+ Andy Utterback, Ingredion+ Lisa Conway, Interface+ Stacey Boggs, Pratt Industries

The Case for Electrification Viable alternatives to the fossil fuel-powered combustion engine have powered onto the market with veracity, and rapid advances have made this technology more and more accessible to consumers across sectors. This panel will showcase how the electrification of products from power tools and vehicles, to semis and heavy-duty equipment not only yields significant financial savings, but also has numerous ancillary benefits ranging from national security to improved worker safety.

Panelists:+ Kerri Garvin, Greater Indiana Clean Cities+ Jesse Beck, IUPUI Grounds + Ronen Aronov, Cummins, Inc.+ Sarah Fischer, Electrification Coalition

SESSION 1ENGAGEMENT

Breaking into the SustainabilityWorkforceJoin us for an engaging conversation on the many possibilities to kick start a career in sustainability! This panel will explore the different ways in which several sustainability professionals have gotten their start in the field. With many different facets of the sustainability workforce, we will discuss how to prepare oneself for a career in sustainability. From challenges to opportunities, panelists from various stages in their careers will share their experiences with the audience before opening up the forum for a discussion.

Panelists:+ Emilee Brown, Green Corps+ Geory Kurtzhals, Sustain IU+ Julia Spangler, Julia Spangler Sustainable Event Consulting+ Olivia Ranseen, Kentuckiana Regional Planning and Development Agency (KIPDA)

Sustainability can sometimes be seen as an ‘add on’ or a ‘nice to have’ rather than central to organizational mission. This panel will explore how sustainability has been an effective tool by which organizations have fulfilled their strategic mission and goals, while also providing value to shareholders, customers, and the community. Attendees will understand how four different entities have successfully made the sustainability argument to their leadership and launched their efforts.

Sustainability risks are, at the end of the day, business risks. Although they can be new and emerging, complex and longer term, issues such as climate change, human rights or resource scarcity all have the ability to impact an organization’s profitability, success or even survival. This session will feature tangible approaches of mitigating risk to the infrastructure of Indiana’s communities –including the risks of flooding, heat waves, and more frequent extreme weather –as well as how investors can mitigate their financial risk by aligning their money with their values through sustainable investing. + Andrew Chupp, Institute for Data Exploration for Risk Assessment and Management.+ Andrea Webster, Indiana University Environmental Resilience Institute+Julie Singer, Singer Wealth Advisory of Raymond James

SESSION 2ENGAGEMENT

Managing Risk in the 21st Century

It’s often said, “You can’t manage what you don’t measure.” As sustainability becomes more central to organizational practices across sectors,there is a need to track the impact of these efforts environmentally, economically, and socially.This panel will underscore the importance of assessment in tracking and quantifying the impact of your sustainability efforts. Attendees will learn about different tools and resources available to them to assist in their assessment efforts. + Erin Lasher, Indiana University Environmental Resilience Institute+ Laurie Counsel, Cummins Inc.+ Pamela Griesemer, KERAMIDA Inc.

Sustainability: If You’re Not Assessing, You’re Just Guessing

Sustainable and resilient building design can reduce operating costs, increase occupant health and productivity, utilize resources efficiently, and retain human capital. But architects sometimes face the misconception that sustainable building design is ‘too expensive.’ This panel will feature leaders in the sustainable architecture sector as they discuss the economic, social, and environmental case for sustainable building and interior design, with specific case studies from Indiana. + Dan Overbey, Browning Day+ Hannah Fleck, JQOL+ Jill Mendoza, IDO Inc.+ Lana Crouse, USGBC Indiana

SESSION 2ENGAGEMENT

The Hoosier state is known for its strong agricultural industry –from large, industrial producers and restaurants to small, urban growers and eateries. Across all of these organizations, there is opportunity to integrate sustainability to meet growing customer demand while also driving down operating costs to the benefit of the environment. Hear case studies from the perspective of a farmer, local restaurant, and large agricultural company on how sustainability and resilience have offered them an opportunity to tell a new story around food, as well as advantage in the market. + Chris Baggott, Tyner Pond Farm+ Jennifer Wells, Land O'Lakes SUSTAIN+ Nathan Shoaf, Purdue University Urban Agriculture + Rachael Hoover Lekić, Patachou Inc.+ Victoria Beaty, Growing Places Indy

Companies are already investing in cutting edge technologies, such as robotics and data analytics, to drive business growth and maintain their competitive edge -but these same tools can be leveraged to lessen their environmental impact. Emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, automation, blockchain, data analytics and sensors, allow businesses to lower resource consumption, decrease pollution and carbon emissions, and reduce waste —all while also boosting their bottom line.

SESSION 3ENGAGEMENT

Philanthropy plays an increasing role in supporting Indiana nonprofits and other organizations focused on environmental and sustainability issues. Private grantmakers, including corporations, private foundations, and community foundations, provide grantees with key resources to drive targeted efforts in local communities, as well as regionally and statewide. This session will feature a discussion with three major environmental grantmakers in Indiana to learn more about their organizations’ specific strategies, initiatives, and processes, as well as the larger landscape of environmental funding in Indiana.

Attendees should come away with a better understanding of the kind of funding available through private grantmakers, what kinds of projects or initiatives might be well positioned for private grantmaking, and strategies on how and when to connect with private grantmakers.

Leveraging Emerging Technologies to Meet Your Sustainability Goals

Funding Sustainability: What Indiana’s Major Funders Have to Say

Indiana businesses are at varying stages in their sustainability journey, and we’d like to help accelerate those efforts. Join us for a discussion-based session where representatives from Indiana University and IUPUI will guide participants through a series of questions to better understand the challenges and resources needed to ramp up sustainability efforts in Indiana’s for-profit sector. Attendees will be encouraged to actively engage in small group dialogue throughout this session, so get ready to have your cameras and microphones on.

SESSION 3ENGAGEMENT

Indiana has all the assets necessary to create a robust circular economy. Despite this, Indianapolis recently earned the unenviable title of “most wasteful big cities in the country.” Led by the Indiana Recycling Coalition, this panel will lay out the argument for better aligning the state’s resources around the reuse economy with the benefits of good jobs and attracting new business and talent. A case study from an Indiana architectural company will highlight how focusing on recovery, reuse, and redesign has allowed them to be part ofthe solution.
