CARBON Low Carbon Strategies, Green Business Events , 2nd Floor, 9-10 Charterhouse Buildings , Clerkenwell Road , London , EC1M 7AN, UK, 020 7733 8826 , 020 7657 4941 , http://www.greenbizevents.co.uk/events/lcs/, ben.patten@btconnect.com Low Carbon Strategies '08 Formulating your organisation's low carbon strategy - Getting the basics right - Measurement & Reduction: The main aim of this event is to help corporations understand the best way to reduce CO2e emissions. This will initially involve discussions around measurement and primary reduction efforts (Energy Procurement, Transport, Efficiency and Process Production). Being the solution: How to extend your influence and help your business: The conference will then aim to uncover the innovative ways corporations are extending their influence and the ambitious plans that look beyond net neutrality. A necessary part of this discussion will be off-setting, what constitutes good practice and the alternatives. The role of Off-setting and other mechanisms: Off-setting has had a rough ride over the last 6 months with many claiming it has no long-term role in a corporation's response to climate change. There are others that claim it is an important first step and much better than doing nothing. Formulating your low carbon strategy: The event will clarify the role of corporations in formulating and executing carbon reduction programmes, the new methods for engaging stakeholders, how such efforts might be verified and the correct use of the various tools at their disposal. This is not just a talking shop - we will identify what corporations should be doing and looking at the codification of new approaches.
