"There is growing concern with regard to the ecological damage that is being inflicted on the environment. We believe that industry bears a large measure of responsibility and should be persuaded to develop alternative methods to eliminate the damage for which it is responsible. The above organisations are convening a Conference in order to discuss the importance of Pension Funds and Trade Union Representation as an avenue to make a serious contribution to tackle this problem. Our aim is to exchange ideas and experiences and to identify problems. Participants will make up their own minds about what they can or wish to do. We are inviting your organisation to send observers or other members. In order to cover costs we need to ask for a fee of 5 pounds per head.
