This calculation tool simultaneously takes into account the type of activity (show, meeting or company event), the characteristics of the Viparis venue and the processes implemented by organizers throughout the event production cycle.

Transportation of people and freight, choices concerning general installation, energy consumption, waste management, guidance and recommendations established for food providers, advertising.

All these and other criteria are taken into account to establish the carbon footprint. The tool thus enables organizers to precisely identify the factors with greatest impact on the environment.

Didactic, simple to use and allowing fast data entry, the calculator produces a list of key indicators and a table of recommendations established using the data entered.

In addition to an assessment at time, it enables organizers to create a long-term action plan for the development of eco-responsible events.

The great advantage of the Viparis Calculator is that in less than an hour, an organizer can obtain a free, detailed evaluation of an event’s carbon footprint and a list of concrete actions to undertake for decreasing it.

Viparis called on Atémia, an environmental engineering office, to develop this tool and hopes to generalize its utilization. In the future, roundtables will be organized with industry participants to exchange ideas and develop shared “sustainable” practices.
