Beacon Event - Environmental Masterclass: Carbon Management and Product Stewardship

With the acceptance of climate change and the growing knowledge and demands of the ‘green consumer’, companies are increasingly required to manage and minimise their carbon emissions in order to manage risk and maintain market share.  It is those companies that recognise the opportunities afforded by sound carbon management, energy efficient processes and product innovation that are bound to reap the competitive advantage.

Assessing the environmental impacts of companies operations from sourcing to distribution can help companies achieve eco-efficiencies.    By creating products and processes that minimise negative environmental impacts, and producing and delivering them in a way that reduces resource use and waste, business can reduce cost and risk while increasing brand trust and profitability.

This event, hosted by Brother, gave businesses a practical insight into how it is possible to address these issues successfully, creating benefits for the business as well as the environment.
