B4E Climate Summit – 28-29 May 2013, London
NET ZERO. CLIMATE POSITIVE.

The urgency of the global climate challenge has driven a surge in innovation and the creation of new and profitable business opportunities across a range of industry sectors.

The B4E Climate Summit 2013, themed “Net Zero, Climate Positive”, will take a closer look at these opportunities and reframe the sustainability debate. Speakers will discuss the challenges and opportunities around business strategies that either strive for zero environmental impacts or aim for ‘net positive’ results where companies actively generate benefits for society and the planet.

Delegates will learn how companies can impact watersheds positively, create more forests than they use, generate more renewable energy than energy consumed and pursue new business models and services that deliver vast customer carbon savings.

High-level working groups will bring together leaders from business, government and NGOs to commit to the collective action within sectors and define the policy changes needed to enable industry-wide transformation.
