They will describe the tools and technologies available and provide case studies that highlight best practices.

Reducing Risk and Increasing Brand Value Through Value Chain Collaboration

Transparency and value chain optimization are fast becoming requirements for doing business. Risks throughout the value chain are leading to increased brand liability and an overall decrease in corporate performance. These trends are necessitating businesses to quantify hot spots, create ongoing key performance measurement indicators to measure continuous improvement, and transform marketing messaging to authentically reflect the use of value chain platforms. It is known that implementing strong value chain management programs enable organization to deal with the flood of sustainability, compliance and legislative requirements, yet many organizations struggle with how to incorporate this into an overall management and measurement program.

Sensors, Buildings, and the Coming Internet of Things

With billions of devices automatically collecting and transmitting data, the so-called Internet of Things promises to fundamentally change how buildings are managed and operated. Sensors gathering multiple data streams -- including temperature,occupancy, CO2 and equipment intelligence -- is creating an opportunity to runnext-generation buildings more efficiently and achieve real-time energy monitoring and control.

But companies can easily get overwhelmed by the volume of data coming in from complex, connected systems. What opportunities exist to collect and analyze this data to create business benefits? What are the necessary skills or advanced applications that are required to deliver better building efficiency? And what new innovations are on the horizon for the coming Internet of Things?

In this free, one-hour webcast, experts from Microsoft and Johnson Controls will discuss what the very near future holds and share real-world examples of companies using data to make buildings more efficient.

Creating the Right Chemistry in Comsumer Goods

Creating more sustainable products takes more than a single company — it takes an entire value chain. Today, successful companies are finding new ways to partner with upstream suppliers and downstream companies to identify and address environmental and social issues along the supply chain.

That’s particularly true when it comes to designing products for the entire life-cycle, from building materials to everyday consumer goods and packaging. There are qualitative and quantitative measures that need to be assessed – ranging from stakeholder concerns to carbon footprint to conservation of resources.

In this free, one-hour webcast, you’ll hear from the world’s largest chemical company, a consumer products company and the world’s largest retailer about how companies can work together to make an entire value chain more sustainable. You’ll hear about the ripple effect, as each player leverages the others’ capabilities to create an ever-larger impact.

Speaking Green to A&D: How Manufacturers Can Use Eco-Labels to Position Their Products

With the more than 400 Eco-labels in the marketplace today, there is confusion and information overload on what constitutes a truly sustainable product. This presents a particular challenge for the architecture and design community, as well as affiliated purchasers and specifiers, in how to assess the validity of green claims.

The problem is equally vexing for product manufacturers, who must determine with which labels to align themselves. Making the right choice can mean the difference between success and failure in the mainstream marketplace.

In this one-hour webcast, three industry experts will discuss which product claims, certifications, labels and declarations are most valuable and how A&D evaluates manufacturer claims of sustainable product attributes.

Turning Energy Data Into Dollars

Capturing disparate and hard-to-access energy data is a challenge faced by many organizations. Finding and uploading current and historical data and chasing down reports from facility managers is a time-consuming headache. Even when the data is available, many organizations rely on spreadsheets or other low-tech solutions to make sense of it all. The result is lots of data but no centralized means to identify and manage projects that can achieve energy cost savings and resource efficiency targets.

In this free, one-hour webcast, you will learn how to streamline access to the energy data you need to gain insight.

The Future of Product Scorecards for Retailers and Suppliers

Retailers are ramping up their efforts to stock the shelves with products that demonstrate a reduced environmental impact. Many are using proprietary scorecarding systems that consider multiple attributes of a product, its packaging and, in some cases, its manufacturer, in evaluating claims or assessing grades or scores to products. Such systems can vary from retailer to retailer, creating a bewildering set of requirements for manufacturers of consumer packaged goods.

In this one-hour webcast, UL Environment will present the results of its recent research to show how top global retailers are using environmental and social performance scorecards to drive value in product sourcing. The webcast will explore how “green” is being defined, both broadly and at the product category level, and the implications for suppliers that participate in green product scorecard programs. It will explore how supplier’s environmental claims are being scrutinized by retailers, and the implications for consumer packaged goods companies.
