Gevme Introduces its GoGreen Initiative

7/3/2023
GoGreen, a comprehensive suite of cutting-edge tools developed by Gevme, empowers event organizers with the ability to meticulously measure, calculate, and offset the carbon footprint associated with their events.

Enabling this functionality is a seamless process during the creation of the registration form. Once activated, organizers have the flexibility to choose the specific features they wish to showcase, such as travel, accommodation, and carbon offsetting. When the offsetting feature is enabled, organizers are presented with a diverse array of projects from a comprehensive list, allowing them to select the ones they want their attendees to support.

By carefully selecting the projects, organizers can see the carbon footprint widget on their registration form builder. This user-friendly interface empowers organizers to customize and tailor their event registration process to include the essential elements of travel, accommodation, and offsetting, ensuring a streamlined and eco-conscious experience for attendees.

With this revolutionary offering, Gevme equips organizers with the means to adopt an environmentally responsible approach, aligning their events with sustainable practices and contributing to the global movement towards a greener future.

How does it work?

Step one: Measuring

To effectively mitigate carbon emissions, obtaining comprehensive data on attendees’ travel and accommodation is crucial. Gevme’s advanced registration form empowers event organizers to effortlessly capture this vital information, streamlining the process.

Within the registration form, attendees are provided with the opportunity to specify their chosen mode of transportation, whether it be by flight, car, train, bus, or any other means. For those opting for air travel, attendees can also specify the airport they are travelling from and the type of seat they have booked. Additionally, attendees can provide details regarding their return journey.

If the attendees are going to be staying in a hotel, they can share information about the type of lodging they plan to stay in. By gathering these essential details, event organisers can seamlessly progress to the next step of the process.

Step two: Calculating

Once the essential information regarding attendees’ travel and accommodation has been collected, event organizers can precisely calculate the carbon footprint using Gevme’s carbon calculator. Our calculator is meticulously crafted based on industry standards and relies on trusted data sets to ensure accurate results.

For calculating carbon emissions from flights, we rely on the expertise of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a specialized agency of the United Nations. When it comes to assessing the carbon footprint of cars, we employ the trusted data provided by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Additionally, for evaluating the carbon impact of hotel accommodations, we refer to the Cornell Hotel Sustainability Benchmarking Index (CHSB).

Within the Gevme Registration platform, event organisers can find a report section that showcases their event’s total carbon footprint derived from attendee travel and accommodation. This data can be easily exported and shared with an auditor, facilitating a comprehensive carbon audit of the event.

With all the essential data at hand, event organisers can proceed to the final step.

Step three: Carbon Offsetting

Once attendees have entered their travel and accommodation information, they are given the opportunity to personally contribute to offsetting their carbon footprint by selecting a project of their choice. This seamless process allows attendees to easily support a specific project directly from their registration form, with the corresponding amount automatically included in the total registration fees.

This empowering feature enables environmentally conscious attendees to actively participate in sustainability efforts while attending your event, aligning their actions with their eco-friendly values and making a positive impact on the environment.

The Impact

By incorporating carbon offsetting features into their events, organizers can actively contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions, leading to a positive environmental impact. This commitment to sustainability not only enhances the event’s brand image but also raises awareness among attendees about the importance of sustainable practices.

Furthermore, by involving attendees in the carbon offsetting process, organizers create a deeper sense of engagement and connection, instilling a shared responsibility for the environment. This fosters a collective effort towards creating more sustainable events and a greater appreciation for the role individuals can play in addressing environmental challenges.
