As part of its continuous improvement approach to social responsibility, ENNOV-SOLUTIONS confirms the signing of the Net Zero Carbon Events pledge in February 2024. This global initiative brings together stakeholders from the event industry around a shared goal: reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
NET ZERO CARBON EVENTS, what is this?
The Net Zero Carbon Events pledge was launched during COP26 in Glasgow. This initiative addresses the climate emergency by providing a collaborative framework to transform the event industry. It encourages companies, organizations, and institutions in the sector to measure, reduce, and offset their carbon emissions while adopting more sustainable practices.
The primary goal is to align event activities with the recommendations of the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global warming to 1.5°C. To achieve this, signatories commit to collaborating and sharing best practices to accelerate the transition toward a low-carbon future.
Why is this pledge crucial?
The events industry, while generating economic and social opportunities, is also a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. These emissions mainly come from transportation, energy consumption, waste, and the products used in event design. The pledge aims to turn these impacts into opportunities for innovation and sustainable collaboration.
Committed key stakeholders
Since its launch, the initiative has attracted prestigious signatories such as Informa Markets, Reed Exhibitions, UFI – The Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, as well as international organizations like the IOC. These leaders are paving the way by adopting practices aligned with carbon neutrality goals and inspiring the entire value chain.
