Introduction to how we work
We have a three-step process to help members tackle travel impacts and fund environmental restoration.
Measure and reduce: We provide resources, tools, and advice to help you gather and understand event travel data and take action to reduce them with proven strategies.
Fund Environmental Restoration: Be part of the solution and create positive impacts for people and nature by funding environmental restoration with our programmes: Trees+ and Energy Revolution. We help events to crowdsource donations and channel them to our environmental restoration partners.
Inspire Change: Use your voice as a catalyst for positive change: We help you celebrate your positive impacts and share insights and learnings to help accelerate progress towards low carbon travel and transport in the events world and beyond.
