Carbon Offsetting for Travel Seminar Sydney 2012 - Postponed

  • Voyager
  • Flight Portal
  • Novotel

Voyager are delighted to invite you to an informational seminar on Wednesday 14 March at the Novotel Rockford Darling Harbour, Sydney. With the carbon tax due to be introduced in July 2012, this seminar is designed to both inform and advise on how to integrate voluntary or mandatory carbon reporting and offsetting into your organisation's corporate travel program.

The seminar will address the following questions:

  • How might your business be affected by the carbon price/tax or emissions trading scheme?
  • Where does carbon offsetting fit in & how are Procurement Managers playing their part?
  • What are the benefits of taking action on climate change for your business?
  • How to go about offsetting corporate travel: A case study

Speakers

Freddy Sharpe: CEO of Climate Friendly and listed as one of the top 50 most influential people in Australia who are committed to the environment, the planet and the future of life on earth.

Georgina Turner: National Environmental Sustainability Manager for Dimension Data.

Details

Please arrive at 9.45am for a prompt 10.00am start. Morning tea will be served during the seminar, which is expected to conclude at 11.45am. An optional site inspection of the Novotel Rockford Darling Harbour will be available prior to the seminar at 9.15am.

Responding to your invitation

Please reply to your invitation no later than Wednesday 29th February by clicking here to RSVP. **Feedback from our Melbourne seminar indicated that the decision to carbon offset often does not lie solely with Procurement, and by encouraging other key staff members from your organisation to also attend, may assist in the decision making process. Please feel free to forward this invitation to colleagues that you feel should also attend.

We hope you will be able to join us.
