Under the umbrella of the MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative, a number of on-campus sustainability activities are planned, including the monthly MIT Sloan Sustainability Speaker Series, Sustainability@Sloan community meetings, and various workshops and seminars with companies, nonprofits, and government institutions.

To date, the MIT Sloan Sustainability Speaker Series has brought more than 20 distinguished experts to MIT to address topics associated with sustainability, including poverty alleviation, public health, global climate change, environmental toxicity, new product development for sustainability, and sustainability-related investment strategies.
