How do these leading businesses comply with ever increasing environmental legislations and create an environmental strategy that is profitable? Real–world case studies and practices will be revealed at the Environmental Business Strategies Summit in Amsterdam on 25th–26th November.
According to a survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit, the majority of executives now rank the following activities as very important in their corporate agenda:
1. Communicating environmental performance to investors and
stakeholders (61%)
2. Improving the environmental footprint of products (57%)
3. Improving energy efficiency (52%)
4. Developing new products to help reduce social or environmental
problems (51%)
5. Improving the impact of operations on environments (50%)
The results of the research carried out by Ethical Corporation and ClimateChangeCorp align with the above findings and best practices on these issues will be presented and debated at the Environmental Business Strategies Summit in Amsterdam this November.
"Many companies have now recognised that sustainable growth is only possible through proactively managing environmental risks. This conference provides an opportunity for companies such as National Grid to share how we are embedding reduction of our carbon footprint into our every day business decisions."
Steve Wallace, Global Head of Environment, National Grid
As well as National Grid, attendees will hear from Vice Presidents of Siemens, Volvo, Philips, along with senior directors from companies as varied as Johnson & Johnson, Bombardier, Goldman Sachs and Novozymes.
The number, and seniority, of current delegates bear testament to the popularity and importance of the topic. At the moment, the organisers are welcoming representatives from companies as diverse as Dole Foods, Canon, PTTChem, BMG Group, Nike.
