On the Road to Renewable Energy; What can the CFO do today?
Simon Carpenter, Director of Strategic Initiatives, SAP

It is an ineluctable fact that we must accelerate the adoption of renewable energy. It is not alarmist to say that with the global population rising to 9 billion by 2050 and with finite natural resources nearing depletion the survival of human society as we know it depends on it. Despite the annual doubling of solar energy supply and advances of other renewables we are still a long way from being independent of coal, oil and gas. There is an urgent need to change organisational behaviours now in order to curb resource consumption and reduce emissions today. This presentation will examine the way the CFO’s role is changing to support a growing focus on the many aspects of sustainability
