Carbon & Environmental Footprint Supply Chain 2008 follows our sell-out London (May 2007 & 2008), Chicago (September 2007) and San Francisco (February 2008) events, which have attracted 200 senior executives from retailers, consumer product manufacturers and suppliers from around the world.
The 2008 event in New York will bring together similar representatives from throughout the supply chain to define the key issues that businesses need to look at to drive the improvement of environmental performance. Carbon footprinting drives the improvement of carbon, while life cycle analysis will examine improvements in the use of non-renewable resources, GHG, water, waste and pollution.
But, what about other key criteria that we also need to measure, namely socio-economic issues or biodiversity? How do we develop a holistic approach based on life cycle analysis and these wider impacts? How do we ensure these are the greatest environmental impacts most relevant to the specific product category?
This is a unique opportunity to benchmark sustainability strategies within a highly competitive industry. Attend this Summit to examine carbon within the wider sustainability framework to understand where are the greatest impacts – What needs to be measured? How do you focus your efforts across carbon, water, waste and energy to find the optimum balance for making absolute reductions? What is the best mix of strategies?
Attend this summit to: -
- Learn which are the latest methodologies and standards out there and how have they come up with the baseline metrics?
- Understand how to develop temporary, stop-gap environmental and CSR strategies until regulation comes in
- Hear the latest on regulatory and voluntary approaches to climate change to understand what options are available, both in the US and internationally
- Understand the correlation between water and energy efficiency in your supply chain
- Understand the relationship between energy, packaging and logistics when measuring your environmental footprint
- Learn how to equate a lesser carbon footprint with a greater energy footprint – target the hotspots to find the key middle ground for optimum reductions
- Measure the key impacts of raw materials in agriculture and examine water in agriculture to work positively with the land
- Break down the key carbon and environmental impacts across different food and drink categories – meat and dairy
- Learn how to engage your supply chain, set up open dialogue partnerships and strategies for procuring different raw materials from diverse suppliers in the supply chain
- Understand the impacts of end user emissions on your footprint and establish the key communication methods for positively influencing consumer habit to provide significant business benefit and competitive advantage
