the PPE report is aligned with the ESRS Standards and CSRD Directive.
IMPRECISE CARBON FOOTPRINT CALCULATORS
the PPE carbon footprint calculator ensures high accuracy of the CO2 calculation.
TIME-CONSUMING DATA COLLECTION
PPE uses suitable forms prepared in accordance with the GHG Protocol
A FLAWED DATABASE PPE
includes 335 tips on organising sustainable events in compliance with ESRS Standards.
DEMANDING DATA COLLECTION FOR THE CARBON FOOTPRINT CALCULATION (particularly Scope 3 emissions)
PPE includes nine easy-to-use forms for collecting data.
EVALUATIONS WITHOUT EXTERNAL ASSESSMENT
PPE’s external assessment is a guarantee of quality
POOR VISUALIZATION OF RESULTS
PPE report is generated automatically in accordance with ESRS Standards.
MEASURING REGENERATIVE EFFECTS

How does it work?

USING SUSTAINABILITY CRITERIA:
96 obligatory and 286 recommended 

Event organisers will create a self-evaluation of their event based on selected criteria. An obligatory part of the evaluation is calculating carbon footprint with our in-house carbon footprint calculator.

  • CT1 – Mobility 26 (5+21)*
  • CT2 – Project management 20 (7+13)
  • CT3 – Communication 27 (7+20)
  • CT4 – Marketing 25 (6+19)
  • CT5 – Event venue 35 (9+26)
  • CT6 – Exhibitor equipment 16 (5+11)
  • CT7 – Purchasing and ordering products and services 20 (5+15)
  • CT8 – Food & beverages 20 (8+12)
  • CT9 – Multimedia equipment and production 26 (5+21)
  • CT10 – Hotel accommodation 30 (5+25)
  • CT11 – Social responsibility 24 (9-15)
  • CT12 – Natural environment 14 (6+8)
  • CT13 – Energy 18 (6+12)
  • CT14 – Waste 24 (7+17)
  • CT15 – Water 17 (6+11)
  • CT16 – Regenerative effects 40

*Out of the 16 criteria, 4 are mandatory: Mobility, Project management, Venue and Regenerative effects. 

Methodology

The ultimate Carbon Footprint Calculator

After testing over 120 carbon footprint calculators, we found something was always missing. So, we developed our own.

Our emission factors, crucial for calculating greenhouse gas emissions, are sourced from reliable data collections like ADEME, BEIS, DEFRA, EPA, IEA, IPCC, EcoInvent, EXIOBASE/USEEIO, EPD, scientific studies, and concrete supplier data. We ensure high accuracy with a stringent safety margin of 3.01 (on a scale of 1 to 5).

We’re proud to offer pioneering forms for calculating carbon footprints, the first of their kind globally.

Support Throughout All Phases:

  • CALC01: Project management and communication
  • CALC02: Energy
  • CALC03: Mobility
  • CALC04: Purchasing and ordering
  • CALC05: Venue and event production
  • CALC06: Waste and water
  • CALC07: Exhibition
  • CALC08: Catering
  • CALC09: Hotel accommodation

Our forms significantly simplify the time-consuming process of gathering data, complete with valuable tips.
