Environmental Footprinting in Europe and Beyond:
How will it Shape the Corporate Agenda?
Berlin, 26-27 October 2011
We are happy to announce the 6th PCF World Summit on 26-27 October 2011 in Berlin. It will explore the relationship between product carbon footprinting and other environmental aspects and product sustainability labels. The past years have seen a strong focus on building the foundations for assessing GHG emissions in value chains. This work will continue and more emphasis will be placed on sector and product level specifications and actual implementation. Besides this important “deepening” of GHG management and reporting along value chains, a number of public and private initiatives are widening their scopes to assess the environmental and social performance of products in a more comprehensive and integrated manner. Prominent examples are the Environmental Product Declaration Programme in France which is currently in its long awaited experimentation phase and the recently launched Environmental Footprinting Project by the European Commission. Also many existing programs with a focus on other sustainability issues, such as organic, fair trade or eco-labels, are incorporating climate change considerations in their set of criteria.
