Talk to us about how we can delivering sustainable meetings and events
Helping you achieve your sustainability goals
Every event we manage is created to help our customers unlock the power of human connection and maximize the return on their investment. However, it’s now very much the norm for the definition of a successful event to include minimizing its carbon impact.
We have always prided ourselves as being a leader in environmental sustainability and corporate social responsibility. And we’re focused on helping our customers achieve their sustainability goals.
Joint sourcing is one super-strategic benefit, and more companies recognize the value of it. By combining your travel and meetings & events program, you will get more transparency into total spend from both areas, not to mention enhanced supplier negotiations and risk mitigation, driving adoption and compliance.
Understand your
event’s carbon emissions
Our teams use a carbon emissions calculator which provides emissions numbers across a comprehensive range of event components including travel, venue and the effect of attendees joining remotely. Analytics show an event’s overall impact and provide actionable insights by drilling down into the detail. We’ll guide you through the findings, providing recommendations which shape the success of future events and your broader program.
Bringing it together
By uniting, a transient strategy for both business travel and meetings & events, you can reply on CWT for a consistent service across the integrated program, from specialized teams, that drive innovation and efficiency. Creating an end-to-end and seamless experience for your employees will bring incremental benefits to both the travel buyer and meeting owner.
Latest insights
Steps to a carbon neutral event
Every component of an event has a carbon impact. All areas need careful consideration to minimize emissions and reduce waste to best effect:
Travel is usually the most significant part, so choosing a destination that minimises this for all attendees is key.
When providing travel and local transport suggestions to attendees, recommend routes that generate less environmental impact.
Choosing a venue that is easily accessible and can handle, if needed, multiple functions will remove the need for transport between different smaller venues.
Select a caterer who understands the need for locally sourced, seasonal, and organic ingredients.
Reduce waste by sharing all communications digitally, avoiding printing unless essential and use reusable and recyclable materials wherever possible.
