YTL Corporation presents
the YTL Climate Change Conference 2008, themed "Climate
Change and Energy Security in the 21st Century".
Many organisations are for the first time having to
address environmental concerns as a central element
of their day-to-day operations, public profile and investment
strategy. In addition, Asian companies are faced with
the twin challenge of climate change and energy security.
The drive for sustainable business practices impacts
on all aspects of the organisation: from product innovation,
through technology investment, supply chain management,
distribution and customer relationships, to corporate
communications. This conference will focus on addressing
many of these issues, including the business implications
of the environmental trends, as well as technological
solutions to climate change, water, waste and e-waste.
This YTL event brings together senior business leaders,
financiers, academics, technologists and green professionals
to stake out the issues, and to share insights, knowledge
and best practices in preparing for a carbon-constrained
future, in addition to being an excellent platform for
knowledge and technology transfer, showcasing best practice
and networking.
