Why you MUST attend IQPC’s Green Business Conference:

1. Energy efficiency is the main area Australian businesses can reduce their greenhouse gas emissions …. AND … Australia is the world’s third-least energy efficient economy

2. “The trading scheme will cover more than 70% of the country’s emissions, including stationary energy, transport, industrial processes, waste and fugitive emissions from oil and gas production.” AFR, July 2008

3. In a survey completed by AIM (July 2008) it was found - 36% of Australia’s senior executives said they knew very little or were only somewhat aware of the Government’s emissions trading scheme… 76% of respondents said their organisations had not commenced planning for the schemes introduction

Are you prepared for the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme?

“More than 400 of Australia’s heaviest polluters are now required to report their carbon emissions to the federal government after the national greenhouse emissions reporting scheme came into effect on July 1.”
AFR, July 2008

The new climate change policy and regulation (primarily the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme – CPRS) requires Australian businesses to closely examine how they operate, record and report carbon emissions outputs. For businesses that do not comply with Government regulations, the penalties will be severe. With only 18 months until the roll-out of the CPRS, is YOUR business prepared?

IQPC’s Green Business Conference will define how Australia’s carbon intensive industries can measure, record and report their emissions and form green strategies to adhere to the CPRS.

By addressing the current policy and regulation and linking this with how Australia’s major businesses are implementing effective internal measurement, recording and strategic planning - IQPC’s Green Business offers you a pathway to a sustainable future incorporating climate change policy and regulation ready for 2010 and the release of the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) . Attend, plan and be prepared for 2010!

Learn how to effectively measure, report and implement green processes!
