Climate change represents a risk to the ultimate
stability and sustainability of business operations. True climate
leadership is indicated by companies rethinking their business strategy;
engaging with their suppliers, customers and peers; and developing
products and services that will thrive in, and help bring about, a
low-carbon economy. In order for a company to understand how to reduce its
impact, it first needs to understand its carbon footprint and the core
ingredients needed for a credible climate change strategy. What are the
appropriate boundaries to choose when accounting for emissions? How far
down the value chain should companies be looking? What does it mean to be
‘carbon neutral’ and how can companies ensure credible strategies to
achieve this? This one day training course will focus on business
strategies for climate change. Participants will be taken through the
fundamentals of climate change and how organizations can measure and
manage their impact, using case studies and practical examples throughout.
Topics include :
-
Company presentations from delegates
