Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) will be hosting two webinars about EDF Climate Corps, EDF's innovative summer fellowship program that places specially-trained MBA students from top-ranking business schools in leading companies to build the business case for energy efficiency. The webinars will feature company representatives who have hosted EDF Climate Corps fellows from adidas Group, Genzyme Corporation, Ingersoll Rand and Hospital Corporation of America (HCA).
EDF Climate Corps is currently accepting applications for company participants in 2012. We invite you to join us on one of these webinars to learn about the energy savings unearthed by EDF Climate Corps fellows to date, hear first-hand from companies who have participated and determine how your company could benefit from the extra set of skilled hands and fresh perspectives of an EDF Climate Corps fellow.
