The 7th PCF World Summit will take place in Berlin from 17-18 April 2012 under the title:
From Environmental Footprinting to Implementation:
Renewable Energy in the Value Chain
Day 1, 17 April 2012 will focus on Environmental Footprinting: Updates, Product/Sector Rules, Business Leverage
As usual we will take a close look at the current reality and perspectives of carbon and environmental footprinting for products and value chains — with a particular emphasis on: a) efforts for building product category and sector rules for the comparable quantification of environmental impacts and b) leveraging the benefit of carbon and environmental footprinting in companies.
Day 2, 18 April 2012 will exporeRenewable Energy in Products and Value Chains
Building resilient, low carbon, low impact value chains often comes down to the quantity and quality of energy used, which is reflected in ambitious renewable energy targets in companies. Building renewable value chains itself however poses challenges, which we will explore on Day 2 of the PCF World Summit, and discuss in relation to environmental footprinting. See below for further information.

2011 is coming to an end, surely a dynamic year not only in carbon and environmental footprinting.
For your calendar, here is the date of the upcoming 7th PCF World Summit on 17-18 April 2012 in Berlin, Germany.
The next Summit is dedicated to better understanding status and prospects of using and communicating about renewable energy and natural resources in products and value chains, measures taken or planned by many companies in their pursuit to lower the climate and environmental impact of their value chains. A close look at international developments in carbon and environmental footprinting will as always also be part of the Summit agenda.

About 140 international delegates and speakers were in attendance, from fields of business, government, non-government organisations and academic institutions.
