Greener Together: New Technology for Reliable Carbon Accounting & Reduction
Date: October 12, 2023
Event: Supported Webinar
Time: 9:30-11:30 a.m. DK/ 3:30-5:30 p.m. CN
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. Traditional methods often fall short, making it a challenge, if not an impossibility, to obtain first-hand data for accurate calculation and thorough analysis. This is where digital solutions shine, offering a lifeline to enterprises that aim to streamline and automate these processes.
This seminar will introduce the concept of Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO). EEIO serving as an authoritative methodology to estimate and analyze emissions with heightened efficiency. By leveraging this approach, businesses can avoid the complications often associated with conventional carbon accounting standards.
The seminar will delve deep into how new technology can help businesses to harness data for real-time identification of energy-saving opportunities and how to equip and empower your enterprise to make more informed, sustainable, and financially sound decisions regarding carbon management.

European Business in China - Business Confidence Survey 2022

Time: 09:00-10:00 AM (DK) / 03:00-04:00 PM (CN)
Event: Webinar
Danish-Chinese Business Forum (DCBF) is a member of EU-China Business Association (EUCBA) and we are pleased to invite you to this partner webinar:
The EU-China Business Association and the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China will at this webinar focus on the results of the annual Business Confidence Survey 2022 of European Business in China. The survey was conducted by the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China.
Throughout 2021, the story of European business in China was one of high risks and high rewards. Revenue and profitability were positive but doing business in China also became more difficult for most companies.
As the rest of the world returns to a pre-pandemic level of normality — with few restrictions hampering business operations and travel — the role China played over the last two years in bolstering European companies’ global revenues looks set to diminish.
At this event, European Chamber Vice President Bettina Schön-Behanzin will present the findings of this year’s survey.
