Workshop 1: The Carbon Footprint of Products, Packaging & Carbon Labelling
The carbon footprint of consumer packaged goods is the new organic – or, in other words, the current major concern for consumers. In 2006 Wal-Mart discovered they could save $2.4 million in shipping, 3,800 trees, and 1 million barrels of oil by eliminating excessive packaging from a single private-label toy line. According to CEO Lee Scott, Wal-Mart’s greening initiatives also serve to improve the company’s reputation and increase sales. This intense workshop will teach you how to find the gold in green packaging.

Workshop 2: Building an Integrated Corporate Sustainability & Environmental Reporting Strategy
It’s more than just a report – your green message is the communication vehicle for the Corporate Sustainability Strategy that underlies it, and the one is only as good as the other. In this focused session you will learn what it takes to develop a comprehensive Corporate Sustainability Policy and report it accurately and strategically to customers and stakeholders.

Workshop 3: Carbon 101 - Demystifying Carbon Management and Emissions Trading
What are carbon credits, and when are they worth buying? Is it better to reduce your carbon output, buy carbon credits, or a combination of the two? This dynamic workshop will get you up-to-speed with the business of carbon trading for supply chain carbon footprint management.
