In 2008 all FORTUNE
conferences will be
carbon neutral
Time Inc., parent company of FORTUNE®, was the first publisher to
measure the greenhouse-gas emissions of its entire supply and disposal
chain. The company has asked paper suppliers to reduce their carbon
emissions by at least 20% by the year 2012.
In addition, FORTUNE Conferences will reduce the carbon footprint of
its conferences through internal abatement and the purchase of carbon
