Organizers are expecting the third annual Green Manufacturing Summit to let smaller businesses take advantage of environmentally friendly tactics already used by Fortune 500 companies.
Jon Dommisse is vice-president of marketing and product development for The Bradley Corporation, which is a sponsor of the Aug. 31 event along with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and Focus on Energy.
He says the summit is a way for his company to “give back to the business community” and highlight some of the green practices that have worked.
“I think a lot of business people think some of these energy saving practices and efficiencies are meant primarily for the Fortune 500 size companies,” Dommisse said. “We can demonstrate some of the things that have worked for us as a mid-sized company and bring in other small and mid-sized companies that are doing things.
“It (the Summit) really grew out of feedback from customers and tours people take of our plant. When they saw what we are doing with green initiatives, they wanted more information. So, we initiated the idea.”
