June is Vancouver Clean Transportation Month, and we’re taking action on reducing transportation emissions in British Columbia.
Join Foresight and Deloitte to explore how green-energy transportation fleets can contribute to BC’s transition to a more sustainable and prosperous society. Panelists will uncover the opportunities and barriers of owning and operating an all-green fleet, highlighting real success stories from multiple industries. Panelists will discuss what support is available for companies looking to make real change in Canada’s second highest emitting sector, and contribute to the thriving net zero economy. Join us to engage with corporate fleet personnel, managers, directors, CFO's and capital investment officers, last mile delivery companies, large road and marine operators with high capacity fleets (class7-8, marine) and logistics companies including key hubs such as airports and ports.
A rooftop cocktail reception will be held for all panelists and attendees following the event.
