Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Industrial or electrotechnical standards have existed for over a century. Initially focused on physical elements, such as screw threads or plugs, they have shifted towards management systems, such as ISO 9001. More recently environmental or energy management standards have been developed, in areas such as life cycle assessment and carbon footprinting. Currently ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) has standards for carbon neutrality and is developing one for net zero-aligned claims. This talk will consider who writes and who uses these standards and if they can contribute positively towards combatting climate change, and how they coexist with accountants’ sustainability standards and initiatives such as the GHG Protocol (Green House Gas) and Science-Based Targets Initiative.
