BusinessGreen.com announces latest Sustainable Business Lecture

BusinessGreen.com has today announced its latest lecture evening for senior executives, providing an expert insight into the fast-evolving field of carbon accounting and footprinting.

Entitled How big is your footprint? Carbon and the future of business management, this evening of short lectures will take place on Thursday 17 June at the London School of Economics Wolfson Theatre.

The event will feature lectures from the Committee on Climate Change's chief economist Adrian Gault, Paul Simpson of the Carbon Disclosure Project, and Leo Johnson, co-founder of Sustainable Finance and a partner at PwC.

Each of the lectures will address how carbon is redefining the role of modern accountancy, ask how and why firms should measure their environmental impact, and explore some of the management techniques progressive businesses are deploying to encourage executives to deliver against carbon targets.

They will also provide executives with a valuable insight into the carbon regulations they need to prepare for, and how new rules can help their business save money and exploit new low-carbon business opportunities.

The lectures will be followed by an interactive question and answer session, and networking drinks.

The lectures are free to attend and places are booked on a first-come, first-served basis.

The latest lecture follows on from BusinessGreen.com's successful Sustainable Business Lectures last year on the Copenhagen Summit and the UK's Low Carbon Transition Plan, both of which attracted an audience of more than 120 senior executives.
