You've Got the Power: How a Public-Private Partnership is Driving the Transition to Energy Efficient Schools... And Empowering Children Along the Way
About the Webinar
Can partnerships create more impact than a single company or organization could accomplish alone? Heck, yes! In this call, we’ll hear how 3M teamed up with a local school system to pilot a program that engaged school children in fun and easy energy efficiency projects – leading to big impact across the schools. Leaders from both sides of the partnership will share how they got the program off the ground, what it’s meant for stakeholders on both sides, and how their combined efforts led to big wins for both the environment and children in the program.
