Conference carbon footprint

The 16th Annual Public Health Forum was held over two days at the Arena & Convention Centre Liverpool in April 2008. The UK Public Health Association (UKPHA), who organised the conference, commissioned BFF to assess the carbon and ecological footprint of delegates’ travel,  accommodation and food consumption as well as waste management, energy and material use at the venue. The results are being used by UKPHA and ACC Liverpool staff to develop their sustainability policies.
