ICT providing transformational solutions for a sustainable future.
7th October, 2008 - Sofitel Melbourne

The environmental cost associated with carbon emissions will soon come at a price. Businesses and industry can no longer afford to ignore the impact of emissions on their organisation’s bottom line.

While the Australian Government prepares to introduce a Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme as early as 2010, energy intensive industries in some states are now required to report on their emissions.  Voluntary carbon abatement schemes are already in place with many companies adopting interim abatement measures to appease various stakeholders.

Australian businesses are poised to spend several billion dollars on systems to effectively track, report and reduce their carbon emissions.  The cost of complying with carbon reporting schemes is not going to be limited to large companies; it is also likely to have an indirect impact on small-to-medium businesses.

• What is the cost of a more sustainable, low carbon future? 

• How can businesses meet the challenge of reducing their impact on the environment?

• How can companies remodel their supply chains to become more sustainable and address the increasingly stringent criterion for green procurement?

• How can Information Communication Technology (ICT) help companies successfully transition to a low-carbon economy by making it easier for businesses to track and report on carbon emissions?

It is clear that technology innovation will be a major factor in the improvement of energy efficiency at all levels of business and industry. The ICT Sustainable Futures Forum is an opportunity for every company to learn more about the role it will play into the future.

The ICT Sustainable Futures Forum (October 7, 2008) combines the expertise of Australia’s thought leaders in the fields of business, technology and environmental sustainability to deliver a practical view of the issues, inspiring case studies and best practices that can be adopted now.
