ORONO — Competitive Energy Services LLC of Portland has donated $25,000 over five years to support the Maine Business School’s MBA Business and Sustainability Track at the University of Maine.

The gift will provide student learning and educational opportunities through conferences and workshops, according to Associate Professor of Management Terry Porter, who coordinates the Business and Sustainability Track.

“We are grateful to CES for this generous gift which will greatly expand the opportunities we can provide for our students,” she said. “Sustainability is becoming a basic part of most businesses and this gift will help prepare the new generation of business and sustainability professionals.”

The Business and Sustainability Track includes the University of Maine’s chapter of Net Impact, a student sustainability organization with activities for both undergraduate and graduate students. Net Impact seeks to inspire, educate and equip individuals to use business to create a more socially and environmentally sustainable world.
