Clients working with CWT Meetings and Events will gain a clearer picture of their event's carbon footprint through a newly introduced carbon calculator.
CWT will calculate emissions produced from travel, hotel stays, meeting space, and food and beverage. This information will be used to make more sustainable choices for global events aimed at audiences of 200 up to 50,000.
“This year, in-person meetings have outstripped virtual and hybrid events by ten to one. With nearly all of our M&E customers and prospects citing ambitious long term corporate sustainability goals for their organizations - whether they run ongoing strategic meetings management programs or individual large-scale events - we are helping them realize their carbon-emissions reduction strategies,” said Ian Cummings, global head at CWT Meetings & Events. “CWT’s M&E carbon calculator enables organizations to operationalize a transparent and measurable solution to connect their people and stakeholders in the most environmentally frugal way.”
Kit Aspen, founder and director of Thrust Carbon added: "Working with CWT on the development of this events calculator has been critical to the shaping of its scalable architecture and robustness. CWT was laser-focused in wanting a carbon calculator that solved for the industry’s shortfall of having carbon measures purely for individual traveler impacts but not for events or vice versa. The M&E carbon calculator means that CWT has one of the industry’s most comprehensive tools to measure individual traveler and event carbon footprints.”
