EDE event: Consensus or compulsion? How can Government and business drive green business together?
20th May 2008.
Mike Anderson, Director General – Climate Change Group, DEFRA
The low carbon economy: how UK business can lead the way in a low carbon world
The environmental message is now a strong one in British politics, and its many voices most often speak out against British
business. But, recently, a more collaborative approach has been adopted with green business models and sustainable environmental
strategies being formulated in partnership with the business community. Mike will outline the latest Government initiatives
designed to help businesses on their journey along the path to a low carbon world.
Chris Anastasi, Senior Environmental Advisor, British Energy
Carbon compulsion: how much consensus is there in Corporate Social Responsibility?
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a business buzz-phrase with its roots in environmental best practice. But very often
CSR is seen as a logistical burden and a sacrifice of profit. Chris will map out the current environmental-business landscape
to find how much the balance between obligation and approval is shaping it.
Matthew Farrow, Head of Environment, CBI
Green and black: sweetening the bottom line with a profitable environmental conscience
There has been a noticeable shift in emphasis towards corporate environmentalism in recent years. However, an environmental
company policy poses financial, as well as ethical, questions to UK companies and some are not willing to fully commit to
the cause. Matthew will take a look at the reality of ‘green business’ and consider how an environmentally-friendly company
can still be a profitable company.
