Emerging Corporate GHG and Sustainability Trends
Previous Web Conference
The politics around the drive to regulate and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions varies based on your geographic location. New policies are taking shape on multiple regulatory fronts. We’ll begin this web conference with a synopsis of U.S. carbon policy at the state, regional, and federal levels. We’ll discuss the outlook for carbon policy in the near and intermediate term and how it could affect our clients.
Drawing on our clients’ experiences as well as from closely watching the rest of the market, we’ll also discuss our observations of the current enterprise carbon management landscape. You’ll learn how companies are approaching the internal and external pressures that they’re facing to reduce environmental footprints and how the market is addressing public disclosure of environmental key performance indicators (KPIs). We’ll explore strategies for setting sustainability goals, making progress on key initiatives, and tracking that progress.
This web conference is designed for a wide swath of the corporate and utility worlds—those who are involved in GHG measurement, reporting and management, and sustainability strategy. It’s intended to be open and interactive, so come prepared with your specific questions.
Make plans to join us so you don’t miss out on this overview of trends and movements in the areas of GHGs and sustainability.

Let’s Get Social: Marketing and Social Media for Utilities
Join us in Denver, Colorado, this spring to learn how to “get social” with your energy customers. Utilities need to be up close and personal with their customers and this conference highlights two of the most important tools for doing that: social marketing and social media.
The first day focuses primarily on social marketing for utilities, looking at how to encourage energy customers to seek out, engage, and embrace energy efficiency and renewables as a new way of life and business. New programs combining commercial marketing techniques with social change approaches are being designed and launched to truly change attitudes and behavior and significantly boost participation in demand-side management (DSM) programs.
Day two complements day one by diving into the emerging social media space. We’ll cover the latest market research, its implications for utility communications and marketing, basic strategy, advanced monitoring and analytics, metrics and measurement, workflow and staffing, and engagement strategies. We’ll give you everything you need to develop your social media strategy.
