Mark Wensell, Ph.D., vice president and general manager of Peak 10 Richmond, will participate in a panel discussion entitled Energy - Conservation vs. Reliability. The summit will also include discussions on green topics such as understanding an organization’s carbon footprint and best practices and implementation for businesses seeking to “go green.” Additionally, Peak 10 will sponsor an award that will be presented to the Central Virginia-based organization that displays exceptional leadership in implementing sustainability programs.

“We are honored to be an integral part of such a worthwhile event involving our Richmond business community,” said Wensell. “At Peak 10, we strive to implement environmentally sustainable practices and I look forward to initiating this discussion among my peers on how they can better promote conservation in their businesses while maintaining the reliability and integrity of their technology infrastructure.”

The GRTC is dedicated to promoting the success of technology companies, as well as the growth of the technology sector of the Central Virginia economy. In order to accomplish this goal, council members lead a variety of ongoing programs, such as peer forums and workplace improvement, designed to establish and develop Virginia’s technology infrastructure.

“Through events like the Sustainability Summit, we wish to further the discussion of green topics in our region, particularly around the green practices that make good business sense,” said Chip Farmer, Executive Director of the GRTC. “By recognizing those who execute sustainability programs, we are encouraging their widespread awareness and implementation.”
