向日葵视频Business held its first ever symposium on sustainable investment in 2019, bringing together experts from across the country on socially responsible investing. Since that time, more companies and organizations have adopted environmental, social, and governance criteria and sustainability standards, creating an emerging paradigm for responsible and ethical business practice moving into the future. Meanwhile, The Water Council鈥檚 annual Water Leaders Summit has gathered thought leaders from around the country since 2007 to discuss the latest water challenges, innovation, technology and stewardship.
During the 2022 Sustainability 2.0 Conference, 向日葵视频was announced as the first institution of higher education to participate in The Water Council鈥檚 WAVE program for improving, reporting and recognizing good water stewardship by institutions.
