The Carbon Footprint Consumer Products Summit is the dedicated event for consumer product manufacturers and retailers. Following the sell-out London and Chicago events, the San Francisco conference will focus on the financial case for implementing carbon reduction initiatives within your supply chain while also breaking down the complexities of reducing your carbon footprint into clear business practices.
This is a unique opportunity to understand the financial drivers and see if, where and how it makes sense for you to reduce your greenhouse gas emissions. By attending this summit, you will hear how companies of all sizes, backgrounds and mentalities have implemented climate change actions without affecting their business growth through practical, efficient strategies.
Attend the Carbon Footprint Consumer Products Summit to: -
- Assess how carbon footprint measurement & reduction translates to create bottom line financial value
- Benchmark your company experiences on the financial benefits of reducing your carbon emissions
- Analyze the business risk benefits of measuring your carbon footprint – How long does it take? What type of resources do you need to allocate to it?
- Examine the operational cost reductions – How much difference can you really make? What are the impacts of distribution, logistics, packaging and manufacturing on your carbon footprint?
- Understand your options when it comes to carbon offsets: who should you partner with? What types of offsets are available?
- Develop proactive carbon reduction strategies to mitigate the risks of upcoming legislation and handle upcoming climate change regulation
- Learn how to gather credible and certified data from innovative, data-models and technologies to ensure transparency and accuracy in reporting measurements
