What is MSWG and what do we do -
MSWG seeks to sustain long-term environmental improvement and integrate it into the nation’s culture. MSWG was established in 1996 as a small, informal affiliation of regulators, businesses, environmentalists and scholars focused on studying environmental management systems (EMSs) and their potential to achieve environmental results. Today, MSWG is a network of more than 800 participants in the United States and 12 countries. It is a forum for determined change agents from all sectors who respect each other’s views and want to go environmentally further than we are today.
MSWG also helps change agents leverage their combined knowledge and experiences to strengthen communities and build economies while improving the environment. MSWG believes that environment and economy need not be at odds. Often described as a place for environmental entrepreneurs, MSWG has been recognized for its innovative thinking and described as an “organization for the 21st Century.” For membership information: Jeff Smoller, President, at Jeffrey.Smoller@Wisconsin.gov or Bob Minicucci, Secretary, at rminicucci@des.state.nh.gov.
