Energy Industry Leaders Gather to Improve Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability and the Financial Bottom Line

In today's changing business climate many leader's are searching for ways to improve corporate sustainability and responsibility. As the energy industry moves forward innovations will come from this new business approach that embrace opportunities deriving from economic, environmental, and social development.

Join us in San Antonio, TX March 12-13, 2009 at Midwest ENERGY Association's (MEA) Spring Business Roundtable as we discuss Corporate Sustainability.

"MEA members have been acting sustainably and responsibly for years, the difference is they are now tracking data more closely, setting and communicating clear goals and reporting progress to all stakeholders. Our member companies have very good stories to tell and are showing real leadership in the areas of sustainability and responsibility" says Patrick Van Beek, president of MEA.
