CIPFA Seminars and Conferences

The CIPFA Sustainability Conference 2010

23 September 2010 - London

Are you aware of the potential financial benefits for your organisation of taking a more active role in developing local renewable energy solutions? Are you in a position to deal with the unpredictability of budget making under CRC? What do you need to know for financial planning and decision making? What are the benefits of sustainable procurement? What does public sector sustainability reporting look like and how can it usefully link to financial information? Are you confident you know the answers? If not, you should attend the CIPFA Sustainability Conference on the 23 September.

This conference will start by looking at the size of the challenge and then go on to consider practical public sector solutions that promote sustainability while also making sound business sense. Conference topics include: Meeting the challenges of a low carbon economy, the benefits of adopting a greener procurement strategy, linking sustainability reporting to financial planning, managing participation in the Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency scheme (CRC) and whole life costing

Five key benefits of attending:

• Understand financial and accounting implications of the carbon reduction commitment
• Discover how other local authorities are taking forward environmental good practice and linking this to sound business planning
• Reduce your carbon footprint through effective sustainable procurement
• Learn how the sustainability agenda can be accelerated even in a recession
• Explore what tools can help councils embed sustainability and improve performance
