Business as Usual in the Low-Carbon Economy at Bayer, Newbury

Business has already made significant progress in responding to the climate change agenda and is well placed to make an early and decisive contribution to meeting the challenge.

Its priorities now must be:

make its climate change policies into business-as-usual
step up efforts to improve energy efficiency
work with employees and supply chain to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change
measure, report and benchmark its emissions performance
provide its customers with the products and service they require to help them to tackle climate change

A discussion on the above topics, with like-minded people from the West Berkshire business community was led by:

Martin Dawkins, CEO Bayer - Positioning Bayer's global engagement with climate change issues
Richard Benyon MP, Shadow Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Wildlife - Setting the political / government scene
Caroline Billington, a-count-a-bility - Obligations and opportunities for companies
Colin Pedley, Bayer Green Manager – Lessons learned in going green
