The main goal of the Business for Climate high-level business breakfast is to discuss the

COP21 commitments and their impact on business. We have an honour to welcome

Roland Hunzinker from World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) as

the key note speaker.

During the Business for Climate event, the first analysis on the Polish market showing

operating costs of commercial office buildings, based on actual media consumption, will be

presented.

"Operating costs" is a project created as a continuation of a report "Analysis of the

sustainable construction market in Poland", initiated by the Construction Marketing

Group (CMG) in 2013. The project is an attempt to assess the current situation of the

commercial office sector in Poland in terms of operating costs by compering certified and

not certified investments. The data from 52 commercial office buildings has been collected

and analysed by some of the largest players in the market: BuroHappold Engineering,

Skanska, Cushman&Wakefield, Knight Frank, Colliers International, Savills, IBC, NAPE. SPIE

Polska is the coordinator of the project. The project has been supported by the EEB

Platform Poland and World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD).

The guests invited to attend the Business for Climate high-level business breakfast will

have a unique opportunity as the very first stakeholders in the market to see this data and

to take part in the discussion about its trends and meanings.

Business for Climate high-level business breakfast will be organised in cooperation with

the European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) which is a month-long series of activities

to build a secure energy future for Europe. It brings together public authorities, private

companies, NGOs and consumers to promote initiatives to save energy and move towards

renewables for clean, secure and efficient power. Launched in 2006 by the European

Commission, the EUSEW is organised by the Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized

Enterprises (EASME) in close cooperation with Directorate-General for Energy
