Here at the Challenge Factor we are already setting the industry pace for carbon neutral conferencing and events. By tackling the issue of carbon consumption through carbon offsetting we can offer a CSR and environmentally friendly corporate communications solution.
As part of the conference organisation for a client's International Executive Management Meeting we employed a carbon offsetting initiative. By planting 275 trees we ensured the event stood out in the conferencing landscape due to its carbon neutrality. During the Executive Management
Meeting, 275 tonnes of CO2 were produced in the course of delegate
travel and event production. The tree planting, balancing the positive carbon-beating action against
the negative emissions, counteracted any carbon produced as a result of
the conference.
Our client's Corporate Social Responsibility Director was wholly supportive of the carbon neutral initiative:
“The offset of carbon emissions for any conference organised by the Challenge Factor is a great initiative and fits well into our own Sustainability Program that aims to reduce our carbon footprint and help our customers with more efficient supply chains that have a lower environmental impact. Becoming more sustainable as a company and society is a process of many small steps. This is an excellent example of such a step that brings sustainability into practice.”
