Greengage launches carbon calculator tool for meetings and events

Friday, 08 Mar, 2022 0

Meetings and travel industry accreditation service Greengage has launched EVENTsmart, a carbon calculator for responsible meetings and events.

EVENTsmart launched in response to demand from event organisers, hotels and meeting venues for responsible event planning.

Event venues in particular are planning to use the platform to demonstrate to bookers their commitment to reducing emissions.

The platform has been designed to evaluate all carbon emissions including travel, accommodation, the meeting space, catering, electricity, gas, water, event materials and waste.

EVENTsmart launches during Food Waste Action Week, which is a major area of focus on the platform.

It helps event organisers to manage food more responsibly by accurately measuring all event food and beverages consumed as well as any wasted.

WRAP (the Waste and Resources Action Programme estimates that 1.1 million tonnes of food are thrown away by the hospitality and food service industry every year.

EVENTsmart has smart dashboards that keep tabs on an organisation’s entire meeting program, providing updates on the cumulative emissions effect.

Greengage can use this data to apply carbon offsets to help deliver carbon neutral events.

Greengage CEO Andrew Perolls said: “As companies increasingly focus on reducing their carbon footprint, meetings and events are in the spotlight. Our new software platform will provide accurate data.”
