Event environmental footprint

Measuring is the first step to improving. By measuring your event’s footprint, you see where the biggest impacts are, make informed decisions and show real commitment to sustainability.

Environmental commitments need numbers.

Many organisers have already made sustainability commitments, but decisions are still based on qualitative guidance. Our service turns those intentions into a concrete measure of your event’s environmental impact.

Three sources of impact: audience, structures and venue.

  • Participants

    Travel, accommodation, food and consumption by visitors. Usually the largest share of the footprint.

  • Structures and set-up

    Stages, stands, set design and temporary materials, from production to end of life.

  • Venue operations

    Energy, water, waste and services during the event.

Six measures of your event and its audience.

  • Total event footprint
  • Footprint per participant
  • Participant profile
  • Main sources of impact
  • Participant behaviour
  • Socio-economic data

We can add further questions to match your organisation’s strategic interests.
