Sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s a movement. For event managers, sports coordinators, and festival organizers, this is your moment to lead the charge in creating events that inspire, engage, and protect our planet. With the right tools, you can even achieve a carbon neutral event that leaves a lasting, positive impact. 

What is Sustainable Event Management? 

Sustainable event management is about integrating environmental, social, and economic responsibility into every aspect of event planning and execution.  

It involves reducing the event’s carbon footprint through eco-friendly practices and making informed decisions to minimize environmental impact. From the moment attendees plan their journey, their choices play a vital role in shaping the sustainability of your event. 

Why Monitor Your Event’s Carbon Footprint? 

Large-scale events often come with significant environmental costs, from energy consumption to transportation emissions. Monitoring your event’s carbon footprint is no longer a “nice-to-have”—it’s essential for responsible event sustainability.  

By utilizing CarbonID’s real-time CO2 monitoring, event planners gain insights into the carbon emissions generated by attendees, including their travel to and from the event. 

When attendees use the CarbonID app, they support the event’s sustainability goals by automatically and privately logging their travel details. This data allows you as a host to calculate your event’s carbon footprint accurately and take actionable steps—whether you’re planning a net zero conference, festival or sports event.
