OESA PEER COUNCIL HIGHLIGHT
September is Environmental Awareness Month Erin Schrieber Manager, Membership Recruitment and Development 248.430.5970 │ eschrieber@oesa.org
Every September, many organizations come together to bring awareness to the different environmental issues we face each day. With the renewed attention on the environment and sustainability this month, we also wanted share a few ideas on what you or your company can do to heighten awareness of this important topic: Look at your company's environmental health, safety and sustainability (EHS&S) goals. Are they posted on your organization’s website? Are you sharing your accomplishments? • Look at your own energy usage. Are there ways you can reduce your carbon footprint? • Donate to a cause or local charity committed to helping the environment. • Check out the Environmental Awareness days in September •
So, how will you raise awareness this month? OESA’s Environmental, Health, Safety and Sustainability Council is an OESA peer group council created for supplier EHS&S leaders year round. Members discuss relevant topics, such as health and safety standards implementation and audits, workplace performance improvement, and sustainability initiatives. The next EHS&S council meeting will be held on November 2 and guest presenters and topics include: • Lisa Whalen, Managing Director, Harris Poll Automotive supplier industry and sustainability trends. • Geraldine Barnuevo Cruz, Senior Manager Environmental Strategies and Sustainability, GM Sustainability update from GM. • Laurie Holmes, Senior Director, Environmental Policy, MEMA Policy updates from the EPA and Biden Administration. • Peer-to-peer discussion of issues affecting our council members For more information on the EHS&S council, please contact Erin Schrieber at eschrieber@oesa.mema.org To join the council directly click here.
