3rd Product Carbon Footprint World Summit

3rd PCF World Summit 17-18 March 2010 Berlin

Sector Approaches to Product Carbon Footprinting Frontrunners in managing and reducing value chain GHG emissions

3rd PCF World Summit, Berlin, 17-18 March 2010 Background International standardisation in Product Carbon Footprinting is moving forward. Numerous companies are using the evolving metrics to manage and reduce GHG emissions in the value chain. Specific sector approaches are emerging through frontrunners and the elaboration of sector guidelines or product category rules.

• What key learnings have been made so far?

• What future activities are planned?

• How are sector requirements taken into account?

Contributions and discussions by frontrunners in their field on sector approaches to Product Carbon Footprinting The concept of Product Carbon Footprinting and in particular approaches to reducing GHG emissions in the value chain need to be adapted to the realities in different sectors. Leading companies and practitioners from different sectors such as food, media, logistics, and chemicals will present sector specific challenges and best practices and discuss these with participants.

• How are the emerging global standards linked to sector realities?

• What specific sector requirements need to be considered?

• How do industry leaders approach the imperative of GHG reductions?

Stakeholder input Stakeholder perceptions are important in the formulation of robust climate strategies. Representatives from Greenpeace and Consumers International will share their observations on obstacles and best practices in climate-related consumer communication.

Networking with speakers and practitioners Use the opportunity to address your questions and projects in question rounds, open space discussions and individual conversations during lunch and coffee breaks and the exclusive low carbon network dinner.

PCF product exhibition 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.

3rd PCF World Summit, Berlin, 17-18 March 2010 Summit Background The PCF World Forum is a joint platform set up to foster and facilitate dialogue between international initiatives on how to assess, reduce and communicate the impact of goods and services on the climate.

The consumption of goods and services indirectly contributes to a large share of worldwide GHG emissions.

Solutions are needed to help companies manage and communicate the impact of their products on the climate and environment in general. They are also needed to provide consumers with information on a product’s climate impact to help them make climate-conscious purchase decisions.

A growing number of initiatives in different countries are addressing this issue by developing standards for assessing carbon footprints and the overall environmental performance of goods and services.

Working towards a global standard has become a matter of urgency. The summit marks a unique opportunity to take account of recent developments and future prospects in international harmonisation.

The PCF World Forum was initiated by the Berlin based think-do-tank THEMA1.

The previous PCF World Summits attracted interest and commitment from more than 250 stakeholders from 30 countries and stimulated wide-ranging discussions.

Both summits are fully documented. Complete DVDs and individual presentations are available for a nominal fee at www.pcf-world-forum.org For the last two years the PCF World Forum has brought together international stakeholders including senior executives from: ADEME Adidas Aeon Group AIST / JEMAI Japan AkzoNobel Alfred Ritter Alnatura BASF Barilla Beiersdorf BIO IS Bombardier Boots BP British Embassy British Telecommunications The Carbon Disclosure Project Carbon Trust The Center ClimatePartner climatop Coca-Cola Consumers International Coop COWI Danone defra delfortgroup Delhaize Deloitte Deutsche Post / DHL DIN / NAGUS Dole DSM Environ EUREF
