Carbon Footprint Sustainable Supply Chain Summit - 29th-30th April

This year's carbon footprint summit has an explicit focus. It aims to demonstrate how carbon management and sustainable development creates competitive advantage across every part of the FMCG and retail supply chain.

What are the high value initiatives that are delivering tangible benefits for the triple bottom line- economic, environmental and social?

How could your company spend less through tackling the key environmental hotspots including carbon, raw materials resources and water?

Attendants will be able to engage and network with senior decision makers from the following industry sectors: retail, consumer product manufacturers, food processing manufacturers, utility providers, logistics and transportation providers, packaging directors and suppliers.

Amongst others, key speakers include Bill Bartlett, Corporate Affairs Director of McCain Foods Ltd; Jim Hanna, Director of Environmental Affairs at Starbucks Coffee Company and Benjamin Gannon, Executive Director of Government Affairs and Policy from Johnson and Johnson.

Carbon management and sustainable development provides businesses with some of the greatest opportunities for saving money and creating competitive advantage in an economic downturn.

Providing, that is, the key programmes (i.e. carbon measurement and reduction, energy efficiency maximisation, water usage reduction, raw material resource optimisation and waste reduction) are correctly prioritised to maximise short-term financial value for the business.

Now in its 3rd year, London Business Conferences' Carbon Footprint Sustainable Supply Chain event identifies the key areas that create maximum benefit for the business, assessing the key opportunities for linking environmental performance to saving money.

All of the speakers across the two days have been briefed to talk about the impacts of sustainability programmes on reducing operational running costs and maximising efficiencies.

Hear companies talk about how they map their value chains and what analysis they undertake to understand the risks and opportunities and how they seek to engage the business plan.

We've also worked even harder this year to ensure that the conference content delivers practical advice that can be taken back to the office and applied to any point in the supply chain.

Creating easy to follow general principles that add simplicity to this very complex business challenge.

You've told us that strategies for incorporating sustainability in the supply chain have to take into consideration multiple economic, environmental and social factors, as each part of the supply chain is very different.

This year we are focusing on identifying general principles that can be holistically applied to the specific hotspots in your own supply chain.

Helping your business integrate all the relevant environmental impacts into one overall concept.You've also mentioned that you value interaction and would like much more in 2009.

This year, in addition to the top level case studies there will be time for plenty of constructive criticism & debate to challenge common assumptions and thinking about carbon management & sustainable development.
