From intention to action.


Businesses are going green for financial, environmental and countless other reasons.
Mpower Business ChaMpions is the first program in South-Central Wisconsin that systematically ensures businesses go green effectively and efficiently.

Over one year, the ChaMpion program moves businesses from intention to implementation; reducing their use of energy, water, transportation and waste through completed projects. Ultimately saving money. 

We achieve this goal by providing participating businesses with a variety of tools, from carbon calculators to energy consultants. Our approach centers on: one-on-one support, measurement, local and national resources, transparency, timely information, accountability and community.

ChaMpion Businesses are a group of like-minded businesses that understand sustainability needs to be included in their strategic plan to stay competitive. Regardless of size or industry, these businesses learn from one another and are creating a network of leading green businesses.

Current ChaMpions include a diverse set of fifteen area businesses that collectively occupy over 1.7 million square feet and employee more than 3,500 individuals.

Sustain Dane administers the ChaMpion program in partnership with the U.S. EPA,  The City of Madison, MG&E, Rapid Improvement Associates, Focus On Energy, and others.
