3rd PCF World Summit, March 17-18, 2010
Sector Approaches to Product Carbon Footprinting
While negotiations on future global climate policy did culminate in Copenhagen, 2009 has also seen considerable developments in very practical approaches to managing GHG emissions, particularly in product carbon footprinting:
- First drafts of the upcoming international standards in product carbon footprinting, the GHG Protocol Product Standard and ISO 14067 “Carbon Footprint of Products”, have been elaborated.
- Reporting, labelling and communication schemes increasingly take shape in France, Sweden, Japan, Korea and other countries.
- Companies are making substantial practical experiences in the application of product carbon footprinting and the management of supply chain GHG emissions.
- The general framework for measuring carbon footprints in the value chain is more or less set, practical solutions for reducing GHG emissions and sector approaches are gaining in importance.
Impressions from PCF World Forum
After the first two PCF World Summits, it is now time to take a closer look at best practices in supply chain GHG management and sector approaches to product carbon footprinting:
- What are best-practices in managing GHG emissions in different sectors? Sector champions in agriculture, ICT, logistics, retail, packaging and others will present best practices and solutions to reducing their own GHG emissions and those of their customers
- How do sector approaches link to the emerging global standards for product carbon footprinting and for measuring supply chain GHG emissions?
- How are emerging international initiatives taking sector specific requirements and realities into account?
Among the speakers are:
• Matthew Bateson (WBCSD)
• Soledad Blanco (DG Environment, EU Commission)
• Prof. Shabbir H. Gheewala (Thailand)
• Prof. Atsushi Inaba (Japan)
• Edouard Fourdrin (ADEME, France)
• Rasmus Priess (PCF World Forum)
• Jürgen Knirsch (Greenpeace)
• Jacob Bilabel (Thema1)
• Cees-Jan Adema (PepsiCo, NL)
• Björn Hannappel (DHL, Germany)
For the first time a product exhibition will be part of the PCF World Summit highlighting examples of products with calculated carbon footprints and communicated results.
The two-day Third PCF World Summit “Sector Approaches to Product Carbon Footprinting” will take place on March 17-18, 2010 in Berlin, Germany.
