Interested in being a Partner for Sustainability?

Complete the Partners for Sustainability (formerly the Partners for Pollution Prevention) Application form.

The Partners induct new members during the organization’s quarterly meetings.

Applicants must commit to the Partners Pledge to be inducted into the program. New Partners will receive a copy of the Partner Pledge, signed by the Partners Executive Director.

Part of the Partners Pledge requires members to complete an annual pollution prevention activity certification and share sustainability success stories and data on measurable goals.

The Partners may use members’ success stories in news releases and other promotional materials to raise awareness and encourage other Indiana companies to consider the benefits of pollution prevention and sustainability.
