E4S is a diverse network of over 4,500 leaders who are putting the principles of sustainability into action. We started the E4S Network in 2000 with the classic entrepreneurs and have attracted the entrepreneurial thinkers, the change agents from business, government, academic and non-profit sectors of our community.



What we share is a belief that sustainability principles are drivers for new business opportunities and tools to improve our quality of life. Together we are building a sustainable economy in Northeast Ohio that will create prosperity and total community health.



The E4S bottom line is encouraging and supporting increasing numbers of businesses and organizations to embark on the sustainability journey. Building a sustainable economy starts one business at a time, one project at at time. To support these projects E4S provides network connections , and sustainability skills learning programs and resources. E4S is developing the capacity to support individual company projects and has begun to design and facilitate industry focused economic development projects
