Why is this seminar different?
The Federal Government with over $400 billion in buying power and 500,000 contractors is a major purchaser of goods and services in the United States economy. With such a large spend it is not surprising that the Government and its supply chain partners create the most Greenhouse Gas (Carbon) emissions in the United States. On October 5, 2009, Executive Order 13514, Federal Environmental and Energy Leadership Policy was issued, which requires federal agencies to develop strategies to reduce their own Greenhouse Gas emissions and the emissions of their contractors and suppliers. This time sensitive and unique seminar with provide contractors with Greenhouse Gas emissions fundamentals, business strategy and best practices for Greenhouse Gas Inventories that will impact contracts awarded by January 2011 and later
