More than 95% S&amp;P 500 companies issued a sustainability report in 2021. If your corporate customers and prospects have not yet asked you to measure and report on your sustainable practices,\u202f<em><strong>they will<\/strong><\/em>. Large corporations increasingly are asking their suppliers to help them live their values, create a positive impact through their supply chain, and help them meet ambitious sustainability goals.<\/p>\n<p>Join WBEC Metro NY and Greater DMV for a comprehensive program to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Discover the competitive edge that wins business with corporate and government clients.<\/li>\n<li>Delve into the environmental, social and economic dimensions of sustainability.<\/li>\n<li>Understand how sustainable business practices can help you contribute to the broader corporate value chain.<\/li>\n<li>Learn what it means to be a sustainable supplier, gaining the language, resources and tools you need for long-term success and resilience in a rapidly changing business environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sustainability Accelerator is an accessible and actionable program to help you understand the basics and application of sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>Consisting of <strong>three modules<\/strong> running over <strong>nine months<\/strong>, it includes <strong>four interactive sessions per module<\/strong> and <strong>six optional drop-in clinics per module<\/strong> to provide expert advice on the unique needs of your business as you embed sustainability into your operation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>WBENC is the first organization I joined that has exceeded my expectations. The courses provided have been a gold mine in helping me understand various ways to take our mission for a sustainable packaging future to the next level. I love being a part of this organization; everyone at WBEC Metro NY is committed and excited about helping us succeed, which is very clear with every interaction. So, thanks again for your leadership in making this happen.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class='uabb-testimonial-author-name testimonial-author-name'>Marta Sylvester<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNuGen Packaging\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>&#8220;The workbooks were amazing, helping us map out our plan.
