Sustainability Impact & Data Center Water Use | Meet Up

The June 2026 Sustainable Innovation Meet Up features two outstanding speakers, continuing our commitment to bringing leading perspectives that help us strengthen our community, deepen our discussions, and advance our collective sustainability journeys.

Join Preet Gill, Head of ADAS Sustainability and Digitization at the electronics and ADAS division at ZF, for an inside look at a typical day shaping sustainability initiatives at one of the world’s largest automotive suppliers. He will also share insights from his new book, Sustainability for Business Growth. Attendees will learn actionable strategies for turning sustainability risks into opportunities for ROI and growth, empowering employees to actively contribute to their company’s sustainable success.

Hear from Joel Brammeier, President & CEO of the Alliance for the Great Lakes, a leading research and advocacy organization and influential voice shaping water dialogue and policy across the region. Joel will share how his team’s latest analysis is informing the urgent conversation around data centers’ water needs, how data centers are raising bigger questions about who gets to use Great Lakes water, and where the region should go from here.
