Helsinki, FI reduces the environmental impacts of events with its carbon footprint calculator
Helsinki, FI Carbon Footprint Calculator Events Impacts
City officials worked with Sitowise on an easy-to-use calculator for event organizers. The calculator asks for user assessments of event impacts in areas like waste, procurement, and transportation. The resulting assessment helps an organizer identify high-emission activities or purchases that aren't essential to event management. Helsinki pursued this tool as part of its five-year plan for carbon-neutral festivals, meetings, and gatherings.
