Attendance at carbon and consumer products conference in San Francisco | 11th Jan 2008

WSP Environment & Energy is co-sponsoring a major Carbon and Consumer Products Conference in San Francisco Feb 26-27th 2008 - www.carbonfootprint-consumerproducts.com

WSP is using the event to launch a new partnership with Aravo Solutions Inc. and promote a new supplier software solution for customers wishing to reduce environmental liabilities and risks in their supply chain. Combining WSPE&E's consulting services with Aravo's, Sustain(TM) Supplier Information Management software solution provides a powerful solution unmatched in the marketplace.

WSP is currently working with many leading US brands including Microsoft, Cisco, and Applied Materials on carbon footprinting and supply chain environmental compliance issues. With sustained high energy costs, increasing carbon regulation and changing consumer behaviors, companies are seeing opportunities for competitive advantage by taking early action and are increasingly looking to their suppliers for assurance that the high energy prices and new carbon regulations will not increase production costs or lead to service disruption.
