OAN Sustainability Summit

October 13, 2010
8:30 am - 6:00 pm / $30
Hayden's Lakefront Grill, Tualatin, OR

Sustainability is everywhere and at virtually every level of the public and private sectors which means that it now is in the minds and on the tongues of every vendor and customer with whom you work and upon whom you depend for the health of your business. When you grab lunch at your local Burgerville, your drink will be served in a 'sustainable' (compostable) cup. Global retailer Walmart is in the process of rolling out a product sustainability rating system to help consumers make purchasing decisions based on sustainably produced products. Certification programs including Veriflora, MPS, the Landscape Services Eco-Logical Business Program and National Organic Program are on the rise.

The sustainability tide is rising locally, nationally, and globally. It is real, it is significant, and it influences the actions of the individuals and organizations upon whom we all depend for our continued success.

So, if you're a nursery owner who is looking to tap into this important market trend, how do you start? Simple. Attend the OAN Sustainability Summit.
