JUST ANNOUNCED: NOW AVAILABLE BY WEBINAR SIMULCAST!
Changes taking
place in the regulatory and economic business landscapes
require companies to understand and take action on GHG
emissions. Physical shifts in the climate are driving
increased adaptation measures, and regulation is mounting on
all levels. According to a 2008 McKinsey study, as much as
80% of a company's climate-related risk and opportunity
resides in the supply chain. Leading companies and
governmental organizations are collecting and acting on this
information to prepare for competition in a low-carbon
economy.
ACCO and
The Climate Registry invite you to series of case
studies and discussions on developing a sound operational
approach to assessing risk and opportunity throughout the
value chain. This half-day workshop is being hosted in
conjunction with the
North America Climate Policy Forum at the Renaissance
Blackstone Hotel Chicago.
Program
Highlights
- Case studies on
developing metrics related to the supply chain,
establishing supply chain management systems, achieving
returns on investment, engaging vendors and modernizing
evaluation criteria.
- Examination of trends
and identification of best practices in the retail,
food/beverage, appliance and electronics, and
transportation sectors.
- Exploration of
opportunities for cross-sector working groups focused on
developing best practices related to procurement,
facilities management, education and training
Topics Addressed
- What investments are
being made into supply chain programs? How should
returns be quantified?
- What are some of the
sweet spots or low hanging fruit industry is seeing and
what are the more significant challenges?
- How does a company
educate and train internal and external stakeholders to
incorporate modernized principles and approaches related
to procurement?
- Is your existing
infrastructure (organizational structures, information
technology systems, etc.) equipped to handle this shift?
If not, how should it be revamped?
