Leading global travel consultancy, Advito, together with BCD M&E, is proud to announce the development of the industry’s first ISO certified carbon emissions calculator for meetings and events. The tool was developed in response to their clients’ needs to factor sustainability into their event strategies, and their desire to understand and measure the non-traditional elements contributing to overall emissions. Advito and BCD M&E are empowering their clients to make the environmental impact of their meetings and events a central element of their planning process and driving the industry toward a more sustainable future.

Advito’s Sustainable Collaboration Practice Lead, Julien Etchanchu, led the development of the calculator based on the consultancy’s ISO certified carbon emissions scale, GATE4.

“We know that the industry standard for measuring emissions across all four travel categories isn’t granular enough to capture the true environmental impact of a meeting or event,” said Etchanchu, “So we developed our M&E calculator to ensure clients are getting a true picture of their footprint. The ISO certification means that the emissions figures can be included in annual financial reporting as recognized carbon calculations, and that the methodologies are accurate, robust, and compliant with internationally recognized GHG measurement and reporting standards.”
