Continuing to Chase Transparency: Carbon Labeling, Part II

  • Wednesday, May 03, 2023:9:45 AM - 11:00 AM
  • Room: 289
  • Session Number: WST2

Description

Last year, we agreed that business can make the world a better place. This year, we’ll continue our conversation about one powerful tool that inspires individual and industry-wide change: carbon labeling.
Transparency is the foundation of ESG, and carbon labeling can provide a standardized method for comparing the environmental impacts of products. The auto industry labels vehicle emissions and food and CPG businesses voluntarily detail, and display the carbon footprint of their products. 
Discover why product labels can better our planet; get inspired by fresh perspectives from industries pioneering product transparency. Join the discussion on how the waste industry can standardize carbon labels. Don’t miss this session - so unique you can’t google it.
Just a bit of what you can expect:
  • Learn how product-level carbon footprints foster transparency and accountability.
  • Hear how other industries are faring with adoption, authenticity, and overcoming challenges.
  • Discuss how the waste industry benefits from carbon labeling.
