GEMI Releases Free Climate Change Tool
The Global Environmental Management Initiative (GEMI) on Jan. 22 launched a new version of its Web tool, www.gemi.org/BusinessandClimate.
The Web site enhances opportunities for best practice sharing among
businesses on one of the most important environmental issues that is
being addressed by business, according to GEMI Chair Bob Accarino. "The
vision of the GEMI membership combined with significant support from
Five Winds International, Trinity Consultants and TrainUp led to the
development of this outstanding tool,” Accarino said.
“Our goal
was to provide information and guidance for businesses in all stages of
the strategic planning lifecycle for climate change,” said GEMI’s
Business and Climate Work Group Co-Chair Maurice Bechard. “The site is
organized into four planning stages --Assess Risks, Formulate Strategy,
Implement Strategy and Review. Advice and resources are provided from
businesses that have already completed one or more of the planning
stages,” he added.
