Rachel Lunderborg, Head of Global Process and Technology at CWT Meetings & Events is joined by Kit Brennan, Founder and Director of award-winning carbon intelligence platform Thrust Carbon, and Rachel Munns, Head of Sustainability at World Wise Foods.
CWT Meetings & Events this year co-developed a meetings and events carbon calculator with Thrust Carbon, known for powering sustainability behind over $50 billion of travel spend.
As CWT Meetings & Events sees its projects more than double since last year now organizing over 30,000 meetings and events globally in 2023, the calculator’s reporting signposts specific event elements where greener solutions could and should be sought – be that event destination, transportation, accommodation and venues, food and beverage, material, and/or waste management.
From tiny team meetings to enormous expos, events is one of the hardest areas to understand, analyze and materially reduce environmental impact. Covering all aspects from the measurable to the data unknowns and the critical role of supply chains, this trio of sustainability experts unpacks the future of sustainability in meetings and events.
Find out:
- How the right mix of data and due diligence can set the trajectory for sustainable events with unexpected benefits to engagement and productivity.
- What information to glean from your suppliers, and their suppliers from both an environmental and social standpoint.
- What incremental change really means in the context of ambitious corporate sustainability goals.
