Linking Key Impact Areas Across Carbon, Environmental And Resource Management To Identify The Hotspot Areas For Environmental And Business Benefit
With soaring food prices and rising fuel costs, coupled with the impacts of climate change, there is demand for an ever more sustainable environment. Environmental drivers are now synonymous with economic drivers as businesses strive to reduce their environmental impacts across the entire lifecycle, and gain commercial benefit from being more efficient across their supply chains.
While the words "carbon footprint" have long been the momentum behind corporate environmental strategies across the retail and consumer goods sectors, carbon can no longer be viewed as the only piece in the environmental jigsaw. Today, retailers and consumer product manufacturers must look further than measuring the direct carbon impacts within their operations. Carbon still plays an integral role, but must be viewed in relation to wider environmental factors across the supply chain. It is only through adopting a holistic approach to the environment, that businesses will achieve absolute reductions.
| Breaking Down Systematic Metrics For Each Key Footprint – ENERGY, WATER, WASTE & RAW MATERIALS – To Identify Hotspots And Ensure Your Supply Chain Partners And Customers Are All Speaking The Same Language |
Now the fifth event in our international carbon footprinting series, the Carbon & Environmental Footprint Supply Chain Summit 2008 has adjusted its focus to meet the demands of today’s CSR and Environmental Affairs Strategists. This Summit is truly unique in that we will be examining how businesses can develop an integrated, 360° strategy that encompasses reductions across areas from carbon to energy, water, waste, to socio-economic issues and biodiversity. Critically, the program will analyze HOW reductions in one area impact other areas of your supply chain, so that if you are reducing your footprint in one area, you do not end up increasing your footprint in another. This Summit will identify WHERE are the major environmental hotspots to target the optimum middle ground for true environmental and business reductions.
Best practice is even more important in this topic than most. To go beyond just giving presentations from the stage, we will be aiming to give you the latest stories and insights from throughout the audience of diverse international brands at many different levels of performance.
Mini Break Out Sessions and Interactive Workshops will focus on: -
- Benchmarking Industry Ideas On Formulating Standards For Environmental Impacts
- Reviewing Consumer Communications Options Including Labeling
