Carbon Management Workshop *Access to Carbon and Emissions Recording Tool!*
Overview
Globally and locally, more businesses are pivoting towards sustainable practices as greater demand grows from customers, investors and other stakeholders. Meanwhile, in September 2022, Singapore announced new ambitions to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, in addition to raising the carbon tax from $5 per tonne of emissions to between $50 and $80 by 2030.
In view of these developments, how can businesses reduce their carbon footprint and operating costs, and gain a competitive advantage by going green?
Join us for this workshop, where we will introduce the key issues, regulations and trends on carbon matters relevant to businesses. Participants will be introduced to LowCarbonSG, a nationwide capability building programme to help businesses measure and monitor their carbon footprint via the Carbon & Emissions Recording Tool (CERT), to help them kick-start their carbon management journey.
