U.S. Senator Ben Cardin to Kick-Off Conference - U.S. Senator Ben Cardin will be the keynote speaker at the Regional Manufacturing Institute's (RMI) Greening the Supply Chain conference to be held on June 3 at the BWI Marriott in Linthicum, Maryland. RMI is co-hosting the event with the EPA Green Suppliers Network and the Maryland-Asia Environmental Partnership. This public-private forum will showcase initiatives that Baxter International, General Motors, Steelcase and Johnson Controls have made to green their supply chains. The initiative is having a huge impact on the thousands of suppliers and vendors who want to make sure they meet the standards that have been committed to by these Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). "In terms of public policy, one of the most important steps businesses can take is to commit to greening the supply chain," said U.S. Senator Benjamin L. Cardin, a member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. "Collectively, businesses have power and by encouraging their suppliers to adopt certain environmentally responsible practices, our nation's manufacturers can have an enormous impact on improving our environment and on setting new eco-friendly standards," he added.

Fall 2007 Conference A Success Maryland stakeholders from business, government and academia heard from such Maryland-based manufacturers as General Motors, Lockheed Martin, Johnson Controls, Coca Cola Constellation NewEnergy and Marlin Steel Wire Products who provided examples of how their green manufacturing initiatives have increased their profitability while also benefiting the environment. Both federal and Maryland state government agencies provided insights on their programs, some of them free, to help companies become more efficient and less polluting to help industry better understand “how to go green.”
