Carbon Neutral Event

The Prince of Wales's May Day Business Summit on Climate Change recognises that it is imperative to act now and minimise climate change impacts where possible. We are therefore pleased to be working with leading climate change business The CarbonNeutral Company who have made this event CarbonNeutral®. This means that the unavoidable CO2 emissions produced from each venue including heating, lighting, waste, supplier and organiser travel have been balanced out by putting money to 2 renewable energy projects in India projects which reduce the equivalent amount of CO2.

To contribute to this initiative we are encouraging visitors to travel by public transport wherever possible using bus or train. If this is not possible sharing a car or taxi journey with a colleague will reduce approximately 1kg of avoidable CO2; if all 1200 delegates shared a car journey 600kg of CO2 would be avoided (you will need to update this with your delegate numbers)

For those visitors that cannot avoid car travel there is still something you can do. In partnership with The CarbonNeutral Company we invite visitors to make a contribution to minimise the impact of climate change, by offsetting their travel to the event and to understand why it is important to manage carbon emissions. The CarbonNeutral Company has programmes that help businesses manage the carbon emissions associated with travel and have provided the travel carbon calculators for this event.
