Webinar information
Sustainability has a wide variety of meanings and uses depending on its context. During this webinar, attendees will hear how our panelists define sustainability in their work and for various audiences. Panelists will discuss the ways they use sustainability to define balanced approaches to decision-making. These approaches may include the social, environmental, and economic interests of stakeholders. This focused discussion will provide attendees with valuable frameworks for thinking about how their own definition of sustainability may affect their work.
Communities of interest are another way to receive, contribute, and add value to your SAF membership.
