About This Webinar

The pace of change in the publishing industry continues to accelerate, more so since the start of the pandemic. Both B2B and B2C content creation, distribution and consumption is on the rise. The accelerated shift from print to digital, the search for new business models to attract new members and subscribers and the ever present need to connect via events and trade shows.
But what of the impact on climate change. All companies produce carbon emissions. But who has started on the path to reduce them and achieve carbon neutrality.
This panel brings together companies that are at various stages of their carbon neutrality journey. Where are you on yours? Practical advice and guidance around how to measure your emissions, how and when to reduce them, the role of offsets and the importance of verification.
So whether you are a larger organisation in the publishing, media and digital sector or smaller operator, our panel will share how they started out on the path to net zero and their actionable plans to reduce their companies impact on climate change including print, digital, technology, talent, teams, governance, risk, cost and achievements.
