Southwestern Pennsylvania Business Leaders Launch CEOs for Sustainability to Advance Economic and Social Prosperity for Region|Southwestern Pennsylvania Business Leaders Launch CEOs for Sustainability to Advance Economic and Social Prosperity for Region

Recognizing the strong link between business sustainability performance, financial performance, and regional quality of life, corporate CEOs from throughout the Pittsburgh region have established the CEOs for Sustainability executive council.  As an initial demonstration of their commitment, 100 percent of participating companies have completed the Southwestern Pennsylvania Sustainable Business Compact On Ramp, a business sustainability performance self-assessment used to track and report progress over time.

Co-chaired by founding participants WindStax Energy CEO Ron Gdovic and Covestro LLC President Jerry MacCleary, CEOs for Sustainability provides a forum for CEOs of the region’s leading companies to share best practices in sustainable business and collaborate in growing the ranks of businesses around the region that pursue sustainability. The group is facilitated by Bill O’Rourke, the former Vice President of Sustainability, Environment, Health and Safety at Alcoa and a former Sustainable Pittsburgh Board Chair.

During a CEOs for Sustainability executive briefing this week, co-hosted by the Allegheny Conference, Eat’n Park CEO Jeff Broadhurst and PITT OHIO President Chuck Hammel shared case studies on their respective companies demonstrating the advantages of sustainable business practices.
