Carbon Footprints for Events

If you’re organizing an event, Offsetters can help add value to your sustainability efforts by measuring and minimizing environmental impacts.

We can help with:

• Low-carbon & green event planning best practices
• Estimating and quantification of event-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
• Communicating the event’s environmental strategy
• Engaging and educating attendees with carbon calculators

Our event experience spans large and small events including conferences, trade shows, sporting events, music concerts and weddings.

For events, associated GHG emissions might include:

• On-site power generation (ex: diesel generators)
• Venue heating & cooling
• Electricity consumption
• Attendee travel and accommodation
• Vehicle & Equipment fuel consumption
• Waste

While we can help with events of any size, Offsetters has supported numerous large events including:

• The 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games
• The 98th and 99th Grey Cups
• GLOBE 2010
• World Climate Summit 2010
• Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) Sustainable Communities
• Barenaked Ladies Tour
