The CBI International Green Business Dinner in association with Tata
In October, an audience of senior business figures, politicians, ambassadors and mediapersons came together for the Confederation of British Industry's (CBI) inaugural International Green Business Dinner, supported by Tata. Hosted at the Museum of London, the evening provided an opportunity for business leaders from all sectors to come together and reignite the discussion surrounding a UN-led deal on climate change. The CBI deputy director-general, Dr Neil Bentley opened the event with a speech that looked at how sustainability can be used to drive innovation in British business, highlighting the importance of investing in green technologies, improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. The keynote speech was delivered by Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), who thanked UK business for its pioneering work and encouraged it to place pressure on political leaders for positive action in environmental policy. Dr Bentley noted the efforts of several UK companies, including Tata Steel for its work with the EU on ultra-low carbon steel and Jaguar Land Rover for its dedicated R&D work on hybrid and electric vehicles. |
