Biggest impact, not the most obvious, changing behaviour

What can you do - Copenhagen

Conclusions Understand your value chain footprint

Set targets to reduce the footprint of specific activities

Do the ‘heavy lifting’ for consumers

Engage them where its relevant and contribution easy

Offer people the chance to make their voices heard

Develop new products and services

See carbon reduction opportunities in all that you do

Significant (even radical) change is only 10 years away
