Know what emissions data to ask for, who holds it, and when.
The Event Emissions Data Checklist covers all seven emissions categories, with the fallback method to use when a supplier can't give you the number.
Eight pages. Seven categories. Twenty-nine data points.
What's inside
For each of the seven categories that make up an event footprint, the checklist sets out:
The data to collect
The specific figures you need, category by category.
Who holds it
Venue operations, caterers, freight providers, registration systems and more.
When to ask
From contracting through to 14 days after the event.
What to do if it's unavailable
Accepted estimation methods, so gaps don't sink your report.
Covers all seven categories
- Energy
- Travel
- Accommodation
- Food and beverage
- Freight
- Production materials
- Waste
A look inside
Example from the Energy section
If the venue can't provide event-period electricity use: estimate from floor area, hours of occupancy, and a published energy intensity benchmark for the venue type. State the benchmark source.
Why collection matters more than calculation
Most event teams don't struggle with emissions reporting because the data doesn't exist. They struggle because they ask for it after the event, from the wrong person, in a format nobody keeps.
This checklist moves your data requests upstream, into contracting and pre-event planning, where they cost nothing to secure.
