By Prne, Gaea News NetworkWednesday, March 11, 2009
PITTSBURGH - The University of Bath’s Integrated Environmental Management Programme
has selected Panopto to help extend the reach of conferences and courses on
carbon footprints.
Beginning this month, The University of Bath will deliver new training to
bridge business knowledge gaps in the fast-developing area of product and
service carbon footprinting and carbon labeling. As explained in the
University’s guide to training options (www.learnaboutcarbon.net/guide.pdf),
this new range of training is designed to help organizations from small to
very large understand how world-leading businesses are using new carbon
footprint skills to achieve both economic and environmental benefits.
Dr. Thom Bunting, Integrated Environmental Management Teaching Fellow and
project leader of the Carbon Footprinting Skills Initiative, said: “Industry
and public services are facing a new era of carbon management in which the
carbon content of their products and services will become an important buying
factor. Aiming to ‘practice what we preach,’ we will monitor and reduce
travel-related carbon footprint impacts of our own training services wherever
possible.”
“Panopto’s platform helps us quickly capture, replicate, and disseminate
conference presentations and other learning activities. This can help us
extend the reach of world-class expertise - without accumulating massive
‘learning miles.’ We are interested in extending the reach of conferences and
courses and reducing their carbon footprints.”
Brad Winney, Panopto’s President and CEO stated: “We are proud to be
working with University of Bath to deliver this training in carbon
footprinting of products and services. Businesses worldwide are eager to
understand how to reduce the carbon footprints of their products and
services, and we are honored to have been chosen to support this important
initiative.”
The University of Bath is one of the UK’s leading universities, with an
international reputation for quality research and teaching. View a full list
