Renewable Energy and Natural Resources in the Value Chain

17-18 April 2012, 09:00 - 18:00, Umspannwerk Kreuzberg, Berlin

The 7th PCF World 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.

Environmental Footprinting in Europe and Beyond:
How will it Shape the Corporate Agenda?

26-27 October 2011, 09:00 - 18:00, Umspannwerk Kreuzberg, Berlin

The Summit explored 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.

On the day after the Summit, 28 October 2011 the first trainings on the two new GHG Protocol standards took place.
