DATE : Friday 12 December 2008

PLACE : Hong Kong

PRICE : HKD$3,900

ENQUIRIES : CSR Asia Ltd T +852 3579 8079 [ CSR Asia ]

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.CSR Asia is a social enterprise that strives to be the leading provider of information about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the Asia Pacific Region ... more
