Carbon Calculator

A major outcome of the International Event Management Summit was the launch of a brand new carbon calculator, tailored specifically to the unique needs of event producers and organisers. The free ACEM Carbon Calculator is easily accessed online, and allows event managers to measure the carbon footprint of events of all sizes, held anywhere in the world.

Developed in association with the Carbon Reduction Institute, the free service will provide practical advice on the changes that can be made to events in the planning stages in order to reduce their overall impact - such as in the areas of catering, transport and energy use - and will link to an optional payment gateway, giving event managers the choice of offsetting their carbon footprint once it is calculated in order to create a carbon neutral event.

ACEM enjoys a number of partnerships in many different arenas and would like to invite you to become a sponsor. Please fill out the invitation to partner form.
