Most analysts agree that transport accounts for the largest slice of CO2 emissions associated with the events industry. Whether it’s delegate travel or kit being freighted around the country, the way we manage transport has a huge effect on the sustainability of our events.
To recognise this we have now added a transport CO2 calculator module to eventberry. This allows you to enter travel details for all delegates and measure how you can improve from event to event. The output from the calculator is included in your final report allowing you to benchmark transport CO2 for your projects.
