Mar 24, 2021

VENUE: Webinar

TIME: 11:00am - 12:00 noon

Join us on Wednesday, 24th March from 11am – 12 noon, as we launch our new ambitious Low Carbon Pledge and unveil Ireland’s top companies who have signed up. Business in the Community Ireland (BITCI) are the leading advisors on sustainability, and we created The Low Carbon Pledge, the first dedicated pledge generated by Irish business, to set industry standards on sustainability and reduce carbon emissions.

This year COP 26 will take place in Glasgow and Ireland’s reputation on climate action will come into focus. With investors, employees, customers and regulators asking business for transparency on actions to reduce carbon emissions, the Low Carbon Pledge, recognised by the Irish government in its Climate Action Plan, is driving transparency and reporting.

Minister for Climate Action, Communication Networks and Transport, Eamon Ryan TD will formally launch our new Low Carbon Pledge, and we will hear from a panel of signatory business leaders on the concrete steps they are taking to address climate change. This is a must-attend event for businesses interested in addressing the climate crisis and looking for insights on how to take action.

Confirmed speakers include:

  • Minister for Climate Action, Communication Networks and Transport, Eamon Ryan TD
  • Gill Higgins,Head of Sustainability, Dawn Meats Group
  • Andrew Flynn, General Manager, Janssen Pharmaceutical Sciences
  • Sarah Dempsey, Head of Sustainability Communications & Partnerships, AIB
