BiP endorses Gore’s climate call
23 January 2007
Climate change was top of the agenda when former US Vice President Al Gore addressed an audience of hundreds of prominent figures from the Scottish business and public sector communities at a recent conference in Glasgow.
At the event, organised in association with BiP Solutions, Mr Gore spoke alongside Hans Blix, Chairman of the International Commission on Weapons of Mass Destruction. A similar event with the former US President Bill Clinton was held in London in 2006, again in association with BiP Solutions.
Mr Gore commended Scotland on the steps it was taking to minimise future damage to the environment. He said: “I congratulate Scotland on taking a leadership role in tackling climate change and reducing carbon emissions – this is not a political issue, it is an ethical issue, a moral issue.”
Ron Burges, CEO of BiP Solutions, said he was proud to associate the company with speakers of such international acclaim: “The expertise and depth of knowledge of speakers such as Mr Gore and Herr Blix can serve as valuable tools and empower community leaders to shape the future of the corporate and social environment of the twenty-first century and beyond.”
