Each semester, the Business, Environment and Social Responsibility (BESR) program at the Wisconsin School of Business offers a BESR Community Forum. The first Community Forum was offered this spring and focused on the topic “Sustainability Meets Entrepreneurship.” These Friday forums are designed to provide UW-Madison students and members of the Madison community access to experts on topics related to sustainability.

The forum series was motivated and inspired by Lt. Governor Barbara Lawton’s Green Economy Agenda, an agenda to empower smart individual and institutional action related to energy, water and climate change while strengthening Wisconsin’s competitive position in a global economy.

The BESR forum is part of the Wiscontrepreneur Initiative, made possible in part by a grant from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and administered by the UW-Madison Office of Corporate Relations. Additional support is provided by the MGE Foundation.
