We're delighted to announce the launch of our new bespoke emissions calculator, which sits on our website and allows delegates to effortlessly calculate the carbon footprint of their events by inputting data such as location, number of attendees, duration, meals, travel, and accommodation. The results are provided in seconds via an email report, empowering event planners to understand their carbon emissions, using GHG protocols and high integrity data-sets, and provides the opportunity to offset them with a simple Eco-Contribution and start them on their journey to becoming more sustainable. Alan Corlett, De Vere’s Co-CEO commented: “This exciting initiative allows us to provide our guests with the tools to make informed decisions about their environmental impact and take actionable steps towards change. This project is part of our wider ESG efforts and reflects our dedication to making meaningful changes as we journey towards a more sustainable future.” For further information visit - https://lnkd.in/g6rMVXdm
