Sustainable
Development – Corporate Support
We have developed new strategic approaches to corporate environmental
management with the inclusion of sustainable development principles in the
Torfaen Regeneration Strategy and have developed a sustainable development
evaluation process for brownfield sites for partners working in
Germany,
France, The Netherlands,
England
and
Wales. We organized the first
Business Environment Conference in
Wales in 2001,
which launched the Carbon Trust in
Wales.
