Case Study: BMF reduces conference carbon emissions with First Event

BMF cuts conference carbon footprint by 34.1% with First Event

BMF, a major industry conference organizer, wanted to transform its 2023 All Industry Conference in Istanbul into its most sustainable international event ever. The challenge was to deliver a high-impact event while demonstrating transparent carbon reporting and significantly reducing its environmental footprint. To achieve this, BMF partnered with the full-service event agency First Event.

First Event implemented a comprehensive sustainability strategy, which included selecting a venue powered by renewable energy, reducing printed materials, and providing reusable lanyards. They empowered delegates to make lower-impact choices through group travel and plant-based catering options. As a result, First Event helped BMF reduce the event's carbon footprint by 34.1%, saving 176.37 tonnes of CO₂ and successfully delivering their most sustainable overseas conference to date.
