Testimonials

“PPG proactively canvasses the members to understand what their area of interests are as well as the challenges they are facing. They use this information to develop content for the program, which means featured topics are always relevant to what members are interested in. Material is presented and delivered in a variety of formats and includes onsite tours and visits for a hands-on experience which also provides networking opportunities to connect with other members.

“I have been a member with PPG for 4 years and each year I have benefited from being a part of the group. I would highly recommend this experience for anyone who is looking to learn, build coalitions and think outside the box to tackle their GHG emissions and achieve their net-zero goals.”

“We have been a member of the Energy Leaders Consortium for over 10 years.  We have consistently found the peer-to-peer exchange of ideas has been instrumental in helping our organization. The ELC is a forum for all of us to identify opportunities, source solutions and implement sound energy management based upon the successes, failure learnings and ongoing projects of peer members in a collaborative forum. 

“As a group member I have quickly learned that someone has already tried an idea or practice and they give honest truth to experience feedback, as together we are a large library of experience.  The ELC arranges for relevant industry suppliers to give solid presentations on solution areas where we need additional expertise.”

– Darren, FGF Brands
