Top 3 ways to cut it

  1. Meet where more people fly direct

    Istanbul would cut flight emissions for this group the most.

    Saves about 5.80 t CO₂e (9%)

    Compare in the location finder
  2. Choose a lighter hotel class

    A midscale hotel, ideally with a published HCMI footprint, uses less energy per room.

    Saves about 2.16 t CO₂e (4%)

  3. Go vegetarian-forward

    Make plant-based dishes the default and offer meat on request.

    Saves about 0.70 t CO₂e (1%)

How it works

Methodology, factors and sources

All factors are rounded, indicative values in kg CO₂e. Results are rounded to 10 kg per category, so the total equals the sum of the parts.

Factor Value Basis / source
Flights (return, per passenger) DESNZ economy factors by distance, incl. radiative forcing; +8% routing; +15% distance for connections UK Government GHG conversion factors (DESNZ)
Ground transfers Coach 0.027 · minivan 0.04 · car/taxi 0.085 kg per passenger-km DESNZ passenger and vehicle factors; assumed occupancy
Hotel room-night (midscale) Türkiye 30 · UAE 65 · Qatar 85 · Saudi Arabia 80 kg; class multiplier economy ×0.7 to luxury ×1.9 Cornell Hotel Sustainability Benchmarking (CHSB) / HCMI country results, rounded
Meals Meat-heavy 4.5 · mixed 2.5 · vegetarian 1.2 kg per meal Poore & Nemecek (2018) food life-cycle data, aggregated to plates
Venue energy 8 kWh per attendee per meeting day × grid factor (Türkiye 0.44 kg/kWh) Türkiye national grid emission factor (Ministry of Energy); IEA for other countries
Materials & gifts Print 0.5–2 kg; gifts 2–8 kg per attendee Simple spend-based estimates
Waste 1.5 kg per attendee-day × landfill 0.45 / partial 0.24 / zero-waste 0.06 kg per kg DESNZ waste disposal factors, rounded

Not included: attendees' journeys to their home airport, venue construction, supplier offices and offsets. For audited reporting (GHG Protocol, ISO 14064) we collect supplier data in your event hub.

FAQ

Event emissions questions

What usually dominates an event's footprint?
For international groups, flights: often 70–90% of the total. Destination choice and direct flights therefore matter more than anything else.
How accurate is this calculator?
It is indicative: good for comparing options and setting targets, not for audited reporting. Real hotel and venue footprints can differ two- to threefold.
Do you offset emissions?
We focus on reducing first: destination, direct flights, menus and waste. If you want offsets, we can include verified projects in your proposal.
Can I get a footprint report after the event?
Yes. With real attendee travel, hotel and catering data we prepare a post-event footprint summary.
