Businesses can learn how to become more environmentally friendly at the UK’s first sustainable travel and transport event, taking place this month.

The Eco2 Transport event will be officially opened by transport minister Norman Baker, and will feature a seminar schedule of more than 95 speakers including: former government minister, Lord Paul Drayson; media presenter Robert Llewellyn; and the head of ASDA’s carbon-cutting national transport team, Chris Hall.

The purpose of the free event is to provide public and private sector organisations with information on how to reduce their carbon emissions, maximise efficiency and cut costs.

Furthermore, over 100 exhibitors will showcase the latest eco-transport and travel innovations from across the UK and the globe, and provide practical tips that can be taken away and used by individual companies.

According to Eco2 Transport event director Charles Troy: “There is increasing demand from eco-conscious customers and governments concerned with meeting carbon reduction targets for organisations to be as ‘green’ as possible.

“Eco2 Transport will bring together the leading thinkers, manufacturers and advocates of the sustainable travel and transport sector, to show organisations how to minimise their organisation’s carbon footprint, and make their transport and travel budgets stretch further.”

The event will be held at London’s Earls Court 2 from 16-18 November 2010. For more information visit: www.eco2transport.co.uk
