CO₂ DATA FOR THE EVENT INDUSTRY
An event is over. Its data remains.
An event thrives on the moment. But long beforehand, decisions are made about travel, technology, rooms, materials, catering and logistics. CO₂ data makes these decisions transparent – so that next time, choices can be made on a better basis.
01 · THE RIGHT QUESTION
Not: 'How will our event be perfect?' But rather: 'What can we learn from it?'
Events are rarely about a single service. They involve many stakeholders, short timeframes, and decisions that can often only be linked in retrospect. That is precisely where a useful event review begins.
The goal is not a perfect number, but a basis for better decisions.
02 · WHAT IS INCLUDED
An event consists of many building blocks.
What is observed depends on your format. Together, we will establish a framework that reflects the event – without promising more than the data can deliver.
01
People & Paths
Arrival and departure of guests, team and participants, as well as overnight stays.
02
Location & Energy
Venue, energy use and the time in which a room becomes an event.
03
Setup & Logistics
Technology, temporary structures, furniture, transport, as well as assembly and dismantling.
04
Supply & Material
Catering, print, promotional materials and other used materials and services.
03 · CO₂ DATA IN CONTEXT
A number alone does not tell a story of an event.
A value only becomes helpful when it is clear how it was calculated. That is why, in addition to the results, we also document the system boundary, the period, the database, and any assumptions made.
What belongs to the event – and what does not.
Which date, format or series the data refers to.
Which information is available, estimated or supplemented.
How to keep the results understandable for the team, client and service provider.
04 · THE FIRST VALUE IS JUST THE BEGINNING
The data foundation does not end with reporting. It helps to plan the next event more systematically and makes recurring formats comparable.
After the event
Record results and data basis in a comprehensible manner.
Before the next event
Incorporate past experiences into planning and data queries.
Across multiple formats
Creating comparable foundations – for series, locations or recurring customer enquiries.
CLEAR COMMUNICATION
Not as a seal of approval. As comprehensible event information.
CO₂ data documents what was analysed and how the results were obtained. It does not award an event nor does it claim climate neutrality.
Project support remains separate from this: the emissions belong to the event. The support is an independent decision by the company.
WHAT YOU CAN SAY FOR SURE
The event data transparently shows what was included – and the basis on which the result was generated.
