Practical ways to reduce your carbon footprint October 3, 2007

The world has moved on from questioning whether or not climate change exists. Forward thinking business leaders have already recognised the need for a more sustainable approach. Mervyn Davies, chief executive of Standard Chartered Bank and a director of Tesco has said, “You won’t survive in business if you are not environmentally responsible”.

Therefore businesses need to take action now, by reducing emissions and making substantial cost savings. However, many businesses are still not clear about exactly what they can do to reduce their carbon footprint.

This seminar organised by MERBEN in partnership with St Helens Chamber, Liverpool and Knowsley Chambers of Commerce & Industry and Liverpool Business Associations, will provide more detail on the range of ways in which you can reduce your CO2 emissions.

This ‘how to’ seminar follows on from our successful recent event that provided an introduction to ‘why’ you need to reduce your carbon footprint.

Come along to find out about practical ways in which you can reduce emissions in the areas of energy use, water, waste and company travel.

Speakers will include experts in the fields of resource efficiency, green vehicles and environmental technologies.

Registration is in two parts, please state which session(s) that you wish to attend (lunch will be available to all).
