8th April 2008
UK Minister for the Environment, Phil Woolas MP, will deliver the keynote address at the upcoming Corporate Climate Response - London event, which takes place May 20-21st.
The Minister will discuss how the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC), the new mandatory carbon cap-and-trade scheme, will impact businesses operating in the UK.
He will be joined by leading experts from Defra who were instrumental in developing the CRC and representatives from leading UK businesses affected by the scheme including BSkyB, B&Q, IBM, Barclays, Land Securities, BAA and Cable & Wireless.
Carbon management is the first step in preparing for the CRC which has serious impacts for companies across all sectors. This is the first time, for instance, companies will be required to publicly disclose their carbon footprints in an annual league table.
Corporate Climate Response – London, will help companies implicated in the scheme by addressing key topics including coverage criteria, landlord-tenant relations, the introductory phase and the design of the league table.
This Green Power Conferences event, also focuses on reducing climate impact across the food supply chain with a full day dedicated to Climate Change and the Food Industry.
