Rebuild and recover

During this on-demand webinar ‘All about carbon’ our experts will help you to discover crucial aspects of business that will affect your journey to net zero, including emissions reduction, carbon offsetting and application of the principles of the circular economy.

Greenhouse gas emissions are categorised into three groups or 'Scopes' by the most widely-used international accounting tool, the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol.

• Scope 1 covers direct emissions from owned or controlled sources
• Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating and cooling consumed by the reporting company
• Scope 3 includes all other indirect emissions that occur in a company’s value chain

Measuring and working to reduce scope 3 emissions can be a particularly complex process as you attempt to account for emissions for your entire product lifecycle. During this webinar we will discuss the options open to organizations relating to measuring and reducing their emissions, with a particular focus on scope 3 emissions.

It is unlikely that energy intensive industries will be able to fully decarbonise without carbon offsetting. Uncover examples of how companies are utilizing carbon offsetting in their journey to net zero and identify where to start when designing your carbon offsetting strategy and plan.

With literally thousands of standards in the global marketplace, selecting which standards are right to grow your business sustainably can seem like a daunting task. Our experts will discuss the pros and cons of working to standards in order to grow your business and meet current and future retail, brand and distribution customer demands.

Discover which standards may give you the guidance frameworks necessary to achieve your individual goals around topics such as Net Zero, energy reduction, modern slavery, plastics, packaging and food waste reduction.

The fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) supply chain is often cited as a source of high emissions and unsustainable practices. However, the industry has been increasingly advancing in more sustainable business practices, including waste reduction and introduction of renewables into the value chain.

Unfortunately, in some areas, the impact of the pandemic has seemingly slowed our progress towards more sustainable production, storage and distribution of consumable products. With a realistic view of our progress up to today, how sustainable is the outlook for the future of this industry?

Based on conversations from leaders in the FMCG supply chain, the webinar’s agenda will cover whether or not our industry is heading in a sustainable direction, or if more serious measures need to be undertaken now to save us from a catastrophic climate emergency in the years to come.
