What is BASE?
|
 BASE
is "Business and a Sustainable Environment" an organisation
supported by a wide range of Companies in the UK including
Oracle.
Primarily BASE 2008 is a business-to-business conference but will be
so much more. BASE is about linking Profit to Sustainability. As
they say "The Sustainable revolution is at a critical phase.
Businesses want to be sustainable. Yet businesses have to make
money. BASE will show them how." The idea is to form a catalyst
around which best practice can be built. To find out more phone

Sustainable Supply Chain Solutions
|
 According
to BASE the Business Opportunity in building sustainable Supply
Chains is £150 billion (GBP) annually. That is what it will cost
Businesses every year to convert their supply chains to sustainable
solutions. Like previous Market pressures such as the Internet,
Regulation or Quality Standards, these changes are not optional.
Those who do not participate will be out of Business. We are now
being encouraged to take practical measures to introduce low carbon
products and services whilst improving the energy efficiency of
operations. These pressures will become less and less voluntary as
Consumers express their preferences at the tills, electorates make
their choices at the ballot box and politicians pass the rules and
regulations that enforce the change.
 BASE
Chairman Tom Burke said that there was little coherence in the
approaches adopted by different public authorities and "the business
environment has been subject to diverse and sometimes conflicting
policy currents on these issues until now." BASE research suggested
that Businesses were in a state of information overload on climate
change. Whilst Business was being implored to make moral choices the
Business Opportunity of 'Business Greening' had not been
communicated. Essentially the early adopters will be early winners.
It is a well kept secret.
BASE adviser Charles Secrett says that the UK needs a
"Business-to-Business accelerator for sustainable development". He
goes on to say that BASE will "bring together innovators, investors,
and decision-makers in the business and public sectors and help make
sustainability enterprises more profitable..." |
The Event
|
 The
first BASE Conference and Exhibition will be at the ExCel on the
15th to 16th October 2008. However, BASE has an existence beyond the
October event. Their aim is to move the debate on about sustainable
development and business profitability. All organisations need
practical information and resources if they are to move on to this
next phase of business. The exhibition is a chance to meet
like-minded entrepreneurs in this opening market. Climate change and
Peak Oil will effect everyone so their advisory board and founding
partners are drawn from all areas of public and private sectors.
BASE is not a trade body but it aims to speak for all. The global
shift to a post-carbon economy is a business imperative and not an
option. As a contribution BASE also publishes Newsletters, Magazines
and Studies. The Conference program will be available
soon.
BASE Publications include:
- baseLINES - their magazine
- The BASE Report - annual
- Show Guide
- Evidence base - 19 page demonstrating environmental
requirements on business
- "Leaving their mark" - April 2008 report analysing Worker
Carbon Footprints around the UK
- "Planet & Profit" - November 2007 report about environmental
requirements on business
