The green value chain

We've attempted to ensure that, goods and services being used at the Summit are produced, used and disposed of in an environmentally responsible way.

We've adopted the principal, 'environmental responsibility is part of social responsibility' all the way along the supply chain.

· Many of the flowers you'll see at conference venues are indigenous
South African fynbos - from the globally important Cape Floral Kingdom
-harvested sustainably.

Gifts are wrapped in minimal packaging. The packaging is reusable,
recyclable or biodegradable.

We have scrutinised suppliers - even those supplying catering ,
medical goods and security systems.

The paper you'll use has come from sustainably managed
forests operating under and produced at mills with an environmental
management plan.

The Cape Floral Kingdom is home to a large percentage of South
Africa's plant species. Several conservation areas in the Cape have
been declared to preserve this diverse vegetation type.
