Case Study: Association of Colleges achieves carbon neutral events with Carbon Consultancy by Conference Care

Association of Colleges makes 1,200-delegate conference carbon neutral with Conference Care

The Association of Colleges faced the challenge of making its annual conference and exhibition of 1,200 delegates carbon neutral to support its Climate Commission goals. To achieve this, the client enlisted Conference Care and its Carbon Consultancy service to measure, assess, and offset the event's environmental impact.

Conference Care implemented a comprehensive solution using its validated carbon calculator to measure the footprint from all event activities. They collected data from all attendees and the event organizer to produce a detailed report with reduction recommendations. The vendor offset the final carbon tonnage through Verified Carbon Standard programmes. The initiative received positive feedback, strategically supported the client's race to zero goal, and identified opportunities to reduce future emissions by up to 20%.
