3. The elephant in the Boardroom ! CARBON

7. 34% cut by 2020; 80% by 2050 5 year budgets; independent Committee; annual report to Parliament Extensive enabling powers Climate Change Act November 2008 Climate Change Act November 2008

8. 2008 Budget Already have all new homes to be zero carbon by 2016 All new schools to be zero carbon by 2016 Ambition for all new public sector buildings to be zero carbon by 2018 Ambition for all new non- domestic buildings to be zero carbon by 2019

50. The Journey – Leadership from Government

51. The Journey – Leadership from industry

52. Never Waste a Good Crisis Develop a New Generation of Leaders We must develop a new generation of leaders who can communicate their vision and drive change in culture and behaviour Adopt New Business Models that Promote Change Business models are fundamental to changing behaviour. We must move away from models that encourage short term thinking and find ways to incentivise long term value creation Procure for Value All customers in the chain need to professionalise their procurement to achieve best value, rather than focusing on lowest price. Andrew Wolstenholme October 2009
