Gordon Brown calls for greener business practices
British employers, which could include those operating in the third sector, need to grasp the chance of transforming the country into a low-carbon economy, Gordon Brown has suggested.
Speaking at the Labour party conference, which is currently being held in Manchester, Mr Brown reported that businesses have a vital role to play in helping Britain to reduce its overall carbon emissions by 80 per cent by 2050.

He went on to report that by implementing such green business practices could create one million new jobs.
