Cutting Through the Greenwash II
DATE: Tuesday, April 13th, 2010
LOCATION: Mississauga Convention Centre - View map
The outstanding success of our “Cutting Through the Greenwash” seminar in April last year has encouraged us to do it again this year!
“Cutting Through the Greenwash II” will start with a session on third-party certification of sustainable forest management, chain of custody, and other eco-labelling standards. The session will include keynote speakers from the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI), Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Canada’s Environmental Choice Program (EcoLogo). Expect a great and lively discussion period!
The third-party certification session will be followed by one on scorecards, rating and ranking systems, metrics, and life cycle analysis. Invited speakers include a spokesperson from Walmart Canada, the unofficial chair of the North American paper industry’s ‘Expert Panel’ on sustainability, and a life cycle expert from CIRAIG (The Interuniversity Research Centre for the Life Cycle of Products, Processes and Services) of Montreal.
Retailers and brandowner representatives will complete the program in a panel session, giving their particular perspectives on certification and scorecard issues.
