MEA will officially present the award to Griseto, today, during the virtual MEA Environmental Leadership Learning Conference
Griseto was nominated for the award by Kareena Wasserman, sr. compliance program manager, of ComEd. “Tim is known within ComEd for being a leader in sustainability performance, understanding the need to reduce environmental impacts through industry innovation,” says Wasserman. “He is dedicated to promoting a sustainable culture at work and home by engaging everyone he meets.”
