Frequently asked questions
The essentials about our studies. If you can’t find the answer, get in touch.
What is a carbon footprint study for events and services?
It measures the greenhouse gas emissions linked to an event, service or organisation: transport, energy, food, waste and other activities. The result is a clear picture of the total impact.
Why should cultural, corporate, sporting and tourism events measure their impact?
Events involve thousands of people, materials and resources. Measuring helps identify critical areas, improve efficiency, cut costs and communicate sustainability efforts credibly and transparently.
Does it work for events without ticketing?
Yes. We combine event data with information gathered from participants, as we did at Braga Holy Week.
Does the audience need to install an app?
No. People answer a short questionnaire on their phone. No apps, no platforms.
What do I need to do as an organiser?
Agree with Mossgreen on the best data collection strategy. We take care of the rest.
Is the data confidential?
Yes. All data is confidential, used only for the study, and nothing is published without your approval. We can sign an NDA.
How can Mossgreen help my organisation reduce its footprint?
With tailored footprint studies and decarbonisation strategies. Practical, science-based results that are easy to communicate to audiences, sponsors and institutions.
Can the results be used in communication and sustainability reporting?
Yes. The results are suitable for credible communication, sustainability claims and ESG reporting, while avoiding greenwashing.
What kinds of organisations do you work with?
Cultural institutions, music festivals, sports clubs, municipalities, tourism bodies and service providers. The approach works for small local events and large international ones alike.
How long does a study take?
It depends on the size of the event and the data available. We set out the timeline in the proposal.
How do I start a project with Mossgreen?
