Green Day  in European Business Association


Energy saving has always been a crucial issue for sustainable development and business success worldwide!
Therefore within the Green Week Forum 2009 in Ukraine, the European Business Association jointly with the Embassy of Belgium and Ukrainian Partnership Bureau organised the ‘Green Day’. This important event was hosted at the EBA Kyiv-based office on 20 March, 2009.
We are very grateful to the Belgian Embassy for their kind and great initiative to help us organise the ‘Green Day’ featuring key Belgian experts who specially visited the EBA to present their valuable views and ideas about energy saving issues.
The ‘Green Day’ event aimed to raise awareness of the EBA business community about legal, economic and organisation strategies on effective energy saving approaches, sustainable development and use of bio-energy and renewable energies. Also the attendees talked over effects of global warming and climate changes.
Among other things, the Belgian experts highlighted the following topics:
• Construction and commissioning of the Belgian ‘zero emission’ Antarctic research centre, Princess Elisabeth: a stimulating example of sustainable development.
• Industrial energy services as a tool to achieve energy savings and sustainable development.
• A role of utilities in sustainable development by using bio-mass and other renewable energies for power production.
• Government can play an active role in promoting energy efficiency and implementing the European SET plan (strategic energy technology plan) through incentives and follow-up steps.
• Sustainability assessment facilitates smooth transition from a traditional energy system to sustainable energy systems.
