Today the business launched its new Carbon Footprint Academy, an innovative forum for businesses to discuss and learn from Carbon Footprint’s experts and from each other, with a workshop attended by household names, including Deutsche Bank & AkzoNobel (new owner of ICI). Members listened to keynote updates on markets & the latest carbon & cost saving lighting technology.

Going forward, Academy members will receive regular updates on legislation and its impact on their business, as well as expert guides, advice on new low carbon technologies, strategies & best practice for carbon management. Crucially, members will be provided with a unique forum to network, discuss & solve issues by learning from each other. Activities will take place at workshop meetings and on-line, in line with a carbon saving philosophy.

The launch of the Carbon Footprint Academy is extremely timely for business, says John Buckley, Managing Director,

“Business is faced by the double whammy of the recession and need to cost save, combined with new legislation such as the Carbon Reduction Commitment, which carries heavy cost & reputation penalties for high carbon emitters”.

Added Buckley

“Our Academy provides the first dedicated forum, not only to give businesses the facts, but with their peers, to find the right solution to speed their carbon plans, reduce costs and make sure they comply with new law.”
