Carbon Neutral Events

Reduce your event’s environmental impact by becoming carbon neutral

Anytime a number of people congregate at an event, carbon emissions are produced. Air travel, vehicle travel, electricity and waste are all activities that result in the release of harmful greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.

The good news is that there are ways to reduce these adverse environmental impacts. Meeting organizers and sponsors can now offset event-related carbon emissions by investing in carbon-offset projects, projects that include renewable energy, energy-efficiency, or reforestation projects. (What is carbon offsetting?)

Increasingly event producers and organizers are making the decision to reduce the environmental impact of their event, ranging across conferences and tradeshows, sporting events, concerts, festivals, and mobile tours. With the introduction of the APEX Green Meetings and Events Standard in 2010 event producers will have the ability to refer to an industry standard when planning their event. The Green Meetings and Events Standard follows a prescriptive checklist approach to defining what makes a green meeting, including the recommendation to purchase offsets to balance travel emissions.

Our team will calculate the carbon emissions generated by your event, which can include the following sources:

• Electricity and fuel used during the event
• Travel to and from the event for all participants
• Electricity used in event participant hotel stays
• Solid Waste

From there we design a customized carbon offset program to offset the environmental impacts of your event. Carbon Clear offers an offset portfolio that includes a variety of top quality carbon reduction projects that meet the strictest industry standards. Using our team’s unrivaled knowledge of the carbon offset market, we will locate offset credits that meet your event’s needs.
