As Winter Storm Uri and other recent disasters have shown us, we can’t rely on a small, disconnected group of people to solve a problem as big as our energy and environment. With so much at stake in Texas— the second largest and second most diverse state in the U.S., home to “The Energy Capital of the World” and numerous Fortune 500 corporate headquarters — we are at a critical point with a massive opportunity to transition the region to a more sustainable and resilient economy.
To achieve this transition inclusively, equitably, and effectively, we invite key stakeholders from all sectors to join us in the Texas Sustainable Business Network (TXSBN). In partnership with the American Sustainable Business Network (ASBN), TXSBN is building the infrastructure and coordination needed to educate, advocate, influence and impact policy and market shifts, while providing Texan representation at community, state, and national levels. We invite you to co-create a Texas-specific path that reinforces the reality that our businesses—the job creators in our society—can be powerful advocates for sustainability. Together, we can reimagine and advance a regenerative and resilient economy that counterbalances extractive and destructive practices from the past.
Join us for the conversation:
3:30-3:35: Welcome & Introductions
3:35-3:50: What the American Sustainable Business Network is and the goals of TXSBN
3:50-4:10: Texas Leaders share diverse perspective on why Texas needs a Sustainable Business Network
4:10-4:15: How you and your company/organization can engage and participate in TXSBN
4:15-end: Breakout Rooms and Networking: We want to hear from YOU!
- What activities and resources should TXSBN offer?
- As a business leader, how would you like to see Texas make progress in sustainability?
