Reduce Waste and Strengthen Profits
By: Doug Loon, President, Minnesota Chamber of Commerce
 
The Minnesota Chamber works year-round advocating for the interests of the statewide business community. That's most visible with our efforts at the Capitol where legislative victories can translate into financial savings for all types and sizes of businesses across the state.
 
Our one-on-one advocacy with Minnesota companies is just as important. Though it does not always garner headlines, we take equal pride in making connections and finding private-sector solutions outside the government purview. Look no further than Waste Wise and Energy Smart, our two sustainability programs that help improve your bottom line and help your organizations become more environmentally sustainable.
 
Like many of our efforts, the reach of these programs is strengthened by our network with local chambers of commerce.
