Carbon footprint calculation
Our agency, ISO 20121 certified for sustainable event management, offers the service of calculating and offsetting the emissions produced by your event, making it high-impact and accountable for your business.
Want to make your event sustainable and carbon neutral?
Smart Eventi supports you in calculating and offsetting emissions with high-impact, internationally certified projects.
At Smart Eventi, we know that sustainability in events is not just a matter of perception.
A sustainable event can easily become both environmentally friendly and a valuable reporting tool for your company thanks to Smart Eventi’s planning and our partner GECO, a strategic consulting benefit startup, ISO 20121 certified.
In this way, your event will minimize its impact on the environment, the community, and the people involved, becoming truly cutting-edge and aligned with a sustainable future. Additionally, it can be reported in your sustainability report thanks to the emissions compensation certificate and report we provide.
With Smart Eventi and GECO, sustainability in your events becomes concrete, measurable, and verifiable.
How?
Thanks to our partnership with GECO, part of our group, we offer a complete service that goes beyond just organizing the event.
By calculating and compensating for the carbon footprint generated by the event, we minimize greenhouse gas emissions, making your event more sustainable.
GECO uses a platform based on international standards like the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, through which it accurately measures emissions at every stage of the event: from venue selection to transportation, catering, and materials used. Once emissions are quantified, GECO proposes compensation solutions through high-impact certified international projects, such as reforestation, renewable energy, and biodiversity conservation.

How does the calculation and compensation process work?
Our emissions calculation and compensation service involves several stages:
1. Initial Analysis: We evaluate every aspect of the event, identifying the main sources of CO2 emissions.
We offer the best sustainable-managed venues in Milan, complete with certified, in-house catering. All our sustainable venues are centrally located and easily accessible by public transport.
2. Emission Calculation: GECO, through its emissions calculation platform, will account for the environmental impact of the entire event, from planning to execution.
Our support ensures you have a single point of contact. Smart Eventi and GECO work closely together, handling both the event organization and the emissions calculation in parallel, allowing you to focus solely on your guests and your business.
3. Compensation: Through high-impact certified international projects, we compensate for the calculated emissions, making your event more sustainable.
We guide you in choosing the best project that aligns with your business, creating a direct connection between your company and sustainability.
4. Reporting and Certification: We provide a detailed report on the reduced and compensated emissions, ensuring full transparency throughout the process.
The report will allow you to view the consumption generated by your event, comparing it with common and clear parameters. The chosen compensation project will also be mentioned, along with its SDGs and validation and verification criteria.
