Event: Supported Webinar

This webinar is part of the Greener Together: China-Nordic Dialogue on Carbon Neutrality campaign organised by the Danish Chamber of Commerce in China, FinnCham in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong, the Norwegian Business Association China, and supported by Danish-Chinese Business Forum. 

For many businesses, the main hurdles lie in acquiring reliable and traceable data pertaining to their carbon emission activities.
