Individual and transparent carbon calculation and offsetting for event participants

Munich – 26th June 2012 – amiando (www.amiando.com), Europe’s leading online tool for event registration and social ticketing, offers its customers the innovative opportunity of a climate neutral event participation in cooperation with the climate protection solution provider ClimatePartner.
The individual carbon emissions of each participant are determined depending on travel distance and type of event. Each participant can choose to support a forest protection project in Mozambique to offset the carbon emissions caused by their event participation. Starting now, the new service, Green Ticketing, is available in German, English, French, and Spanish.

From now on, we offer our participants the opportunity of a climate neutral event participation in cooperation with the climate protection solution provider ClimatePartner.

Every event causes carbon emission – from attendees traveling to and from the event, energy consumption at the event and attendee accommodation. There are many ways of reducing carbon emission (for example saving energy for lighting), but not all emissions are avoidable. For that, we offer amiando Green Ticketing.

Each participant’s individual carbon emission is determined depending on the travel distance and type of event. Participants can choose to support a forest protection project in Mozambique to offset the carbon emissions caused by their event participation.

The calculation (provided by ClimatePartner) is integrated in the amiando system. Participants do not have to provide any additional information. A certificate proving the climate neutral event participation is available for download.

“As Europe’s leading online tool for event registration and social ticketing, we want to support our customers in organizing an environmentally friendly event. Our system already allows for a completely paperless registration process. From now on we offer our customers the opportunity to make all the factors which contribute to carbon emissions, such as travelling to and from the event and accommodation, climate neutral in just one step”, says Felix Haas, CEO amiando.

Have a great week, everyone!
