Why Sustainability LIVE is Coming to Chicago
Chicago is undoubtedly a global business centre, home to Fortune 500 companies like United Airlines, Kraft Heinz, McDonaldâs and many more.
The city also has some impressive sustainability measures, including powering all city-owned buildings with 100% renewable energy.
âChicago is committed to taking bold steps as the world faces climate crises,â said Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.
âWith this transition to renewable energy, we are achieving a goal that the City has been working towards for years and fulfilling a promise to Chicagoans via the creation of clean jobs and meaningful progress toward a sustainable future.â
A city bustling with business and focussed on the future just makes sense for Sustainability LIVE.
Sustainability LIVE Chicago 2025 will be taking place on 28 and 29 May at Convene Willis Tower.
