Event - Establishing a Green Agenda: EIC Annual Conference

This event will take place on December 2, 2014 in London, UK.

This one day conference aims to bring together cross party political leaders, influential industry clients, environmental experts and the extensive supply chain that serves the industry – to keep environmental issues central to the on-going political debate so that they form a key part of all main parties’ general election manifestos.

Hear from the three main political parties about their environmental agendas, likely manifesto pledges and environmental policy drivers ahead of the general election. Join in the debate about the environmental and political lessons learned from four years of coalition.
