About

Planet-Profit Report was launched in 2007 as a quarterly section to ColoradoBiz magazine, a statewide b-to-b magazine continuously published for over 38 years.

PPR is being expanded as a regional media platform. The quarterly section will continue publication in ColoradoBiz.

The editorial mission of PPR is to engage the voices of business and economic development in a meaningful dialogue about energy and economic sustainability – with a focus on the western United States, a region with common challenges and opportunities.

The unique market position of PPR stems from:

  1. the invitation to all voices in business, research,  and economic development to participate in a dialogue about sustainable development
  2. the regional nature of the dialogue – from the central wind corridor of the United States west – translating into a practical, issues-oriented conversation
